Default irritating noise

New here and hoping someone can help with a very irritating nose.
I have a 06 roadking custom with Vance and Hines big shot true duel exhaust, high flow air filter and a Dino jet 3 programmer.
The problem I'm having is a very irritating rattling type of a squealing noise! It mostly happens when the bike has wormed up and off the throttle letting the motor slow the bike. The other time I hear it is when I rev the throttle with the clutch in coming up to a stop. I thought it might be in the clutch so I installed the screaming Eagle heavy duty clutch spring! Didn't help! Oh one more time I hear this noise is when I hit a hard bump in the road. We have some great roads here in reno NV.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I have to agree, revving the throttle with the clutch in, while coming to a stop, is an irritating noise...

Haha thanks I guess I deserve that�� But if you or any one else might have any other options on what this noise might be? I'm really hoping not to take it to the shop��

You could look at heat shield clamps. They are a simple worm bolt clamp. Takes a 5/16 socket to check for tight. You could also take hold of your shift linkage for wear. Found this to develop a rattle on my own bike.
good luck!

It's a long shot but look at the exhaust bracket for the rear cyl that mounts to the transmission and the rear hangers for your mufflers as well

Good replies from those before me. I was going to say that when you have "wormed up" the bike, it might make noise.

really hard to say without hearing it but do not rule out a bearing.
