Had a similar noise on a brand new Sportster back in 2000. I thought it was engine related and checked all kinds of stuff before finally taking it to the dealer. They had it almost 2 weeks before they called me to come pick it up. Turns out it was a loose horn bracket allowing the horn to rattle on the frame.
Moral of the story?- Start with the simple stuff before you go tearing into it too deep.

If it's been there for years don't worry about it, just ride.....
I have a noise that sounds like you are shaking a paint rattle can when I am in 6th gear...been there since I bought the bike used 15,000 miles ago. I'll just spend my money in one shot if something changes drastically instead of spreading it out chasing stuff.
