I had a similar experience. My first thought was the rubber bushings that hold the exhaust, while the bag was off, and and the bushing removed, I stated it to see if the noise went away, and bingo, my bag mount was loose.
Glad you found it, those noises can make a preacher swear..

Over the years I developed a habit of just walking around the bike and shaking, pulling, pushing or nudging parts. Once in a great while I find something loose.
Glad you found yours. It can be frustrating.

Had the same issue and swore it was the tour pak mount. Nope, rear light bar as well. Now I'm hunting down a front end mystery noise that is not only unlike any other sound you hear described coming from the front end but it is also very inconsistent.

I wash my bike up on the jack, blower dry it, then wipe it down with a clean micro fiber towel and Eagle One Detail Spray. I push, pull, tug, twist everything I can get to. I found my rear signal bar loose once, snugged it down good, no problem since.
I sometimes approach it like something, somewhere on my bike is loose - now FIND IT.
