I once had a piece of the radiator shroud rattling on startup, that had me thinking the worse. Removed all that plastic cwap, and no more noise. I hate plastic "look pretty" cwap. Looks more like a motorcycle now, instead of a car engined bike, with all that chrome plastic stuff all around the radiator.
Now this may well be it! I had to fit a new radiator after my off, fitted a Chinese pattern part off the bay (which actually seems good quality For 2008 Triumph Rocket 3 Aluminum Radiator 2006 2004-2017 711508164926 | eBay ) maybe a bit of said trim is loose. It's riding fine, just this awful noise now and again. I'll check this morning.

Er indoors wanted to visit a vintage fair so not long back from that. Rest of the day on the bike. So this is a link to a video. You can really hear it from 30 seconds onward. Sounds like a handful of bolts rattling around the exhaust. I wonder if my grandson put a handful of bolts down the exhaust!?

Well there is a slug from an M10 bolt shank. I fkng love my cordless grinder. Ans a blister from said slug as it gets bloody hot when you cut through it... Bollox ya bast.. was quoted..
That is some strange noise for sure. No clue ???? And anything that comes and then goes away is a giant pain in the backside! It does sound like it's louder from the muffler area, than from inside the engine area. Keep us posted!
