Are you talking after shutting it off or idling after returning ... When return from the ride if after shutting off may be the exhaust contracting a little cooling off after being shut down..

My heat shied use to rattle, I just stuck a screwdriver with a rag over it behind it and bent it up a little and it went away. Do you have a Gremlin Bell? That could be your culprit as well.
