Default Strange Noise

I was in heavy traffic on the freeway for about 30 minutes. Stop and go. After awhile there was a strange noise coming from the right side of the bike. I was in 1st gear. As soon as I let out the clutch, it went away. I have a 2014 Ultra Limited
Anyone run into this one?

I also had a noise come up last weekend at certain speeds. While wiping the bike down i found a loose bracket near the rear fender. Make sure you touch everything to see if you can find anything loose. Atleast you can start there ya know.

Was it a "barking" noise? Heard that one time when in traffic at Sturgis, turned out to be rear cylinder ignition cuts off in high heat condition at idle.
Scared me!

If was pretty well warmed up and you were just creeping ahead and stop, creeping some more and stop, etc. Could be Neutral Rattle. This has been talked about many times.
