Default Chirping sound while riding

After doing a search regarding this subject, I was able to narrow it down to a few items or conditions.
After a few minutes I noticed the chirping sound being generated from the rubber fitting at the exhaust pipe.
Lessons learned here..
  1. Use the search section before starting most projects on your bike
  2. Use a mild soap and water solution to clean and then check tightness of the bolts that attach the offending noise generator
  3. Light application of silicone spray once dry
Chirp is gone!
I have noticed several post on this subject. Every condition may be different. I may have just gotten lucky as starting off with the exhaust mounts as belts, clamps and gaskets were next in line.
Have a great day folks! Im going riding...chirpless...at least for now!

In a 93 FXSTC, my chirping was a leaky exhaust gasket at the head....
And the 97 RK, was where the exhaust mated with the muffler. Tenn.
