Default An Occasional ***** Noise

I'm kinda stumped on this one. Every once in a while, I'm hearing a clink noise down on the left side of the bike. Seems to be coming from near or just ahead of the clutch. I think it usually happens while under acceleration. I had installed a kit that leans the bike over more because of the lowering kit in the rear. This made the Jiffystand spring stretch out and it isn't holding Jiffystand up tight against the frame while riding. I don't see any movement in the Jiffystand that would make the clink noise.
Any ideas what this might be?

I had to edit this because the HD Forums software wouldn't let me use the term c h i n k
