Hmmm. Interesting.
You do have to isolate it. Do you have a lift where you can raise the bike and spin each wheel? If not, you may need to enlist someone whom can move alongside the bike and try to isolate the tapping, to either the front or rear wheel.

Found it! So about a month ago, I was cleaning my rear wheel rim, not that you have to with these blacked-out deals! So much better than Chrome!, but anyhow, I noticed one of those wait things they put on the rim when balancing tires, had came loose, I pulled it off, clean the rim, and put it back on with 3M tape two-sided, actually a little surprised that it even lasted for the last couple thousand miles, but it was rubbing up against my brake caliper, and it was kind of shaved down like it had been happening for a while, I guess I got to get some type of a sticky putty to put on that puppy? I've heard before that those balancers don't really mean crap, thoughts? Just take it off?
DynaBeads is what I used to balance my tires. cueman
Yep, dynabeads are the way to go. No worry about lost weights. No ugly weights. They just work. I've been over 100 MPH with them and no issues ever.

...if you plug a tire while using Dyna Beads; a portion of the beads will stick to the plug on the inside. How many of them? How much Dyna Bead weight will be statically transferred to the plug?

Tires should be balanced; either statically with weights or dynamically (as in Dynabeads).
Your at half life with the rear anyway now? another 3-4 thousands miles and you'll need new rubber. If you were able to replace the weight in the same spot,...that bike!
