Default Clicking Noise

I just purchased my first Harley Davidson last week, a 2010 Ultra Classic. So far I am enjoying the experience. I am hearing a clicking noise as I ride and was wondering if this was a normal situation on the Ultra's or something I should have checked out.

Thanks.....

I think you better have it checked...That just doesn't sound right...Seriously, these motors make a lot of noise...just ride it and don't worry about the noise...You have an excellent machine that will not let you down.
