My new Cycle Shack MS-129 slip-ons arrived today, so I installed them in place of the Screamin' Eagles on my 2012 Street Bob, so as to get rid of the catalytic converters. Everything was fine on the shakedown run until the rear muffler (only the rear one) started to make a strange intermittent noise which became more frequent and very annoying as I was riding.
The noise sounded like something I had heard before in a non-motorcycle context, but I couldn't place it at first. Finally, I remembered...from a George Harrison album: a wobble board.
It sounds something like what this gentleman is doing:

Any ideas at all? It sounded so weird that I put the Screamin' Eagles back on until I can figure it out. Any help is appreciated.
Edit: I should add that I rechecked the torque on the clamps, and even removed the rear baffle to look for any abnormalities. Nope, looks like a baffle.
