Default Coconuts??

I picked up a leftover '09 FXDFSE last week and I've noticed when going over bumps such as RR tracks, "shuffle board" spots in the road etc....that I have a sound coming from under the bike that sounds a hell of a lot like a couple of coconut shells hitting together. I thought it might have been the stand bouncing but when I tap it with my foot when I'm not moving it doesn't make any noise even remotely like it. Anyone have a clue what this could be or should I just not worry about it until something falls off?

It might be the forks hit bottom out and clank. Mine did it untill I went with thicker fork oil.

Make sure your tank is tight. Both my Harleys had loose tanks upon purchase. Makes a distinctive clunk when going over bumps.
