"clattery" engine

I just got the chance to really get out an ride my new to me '99 nomad. At around 40-50 MPH I started hearing a "clattering" or "rattling" sound. At first, I thought the windshield or gas tank was loose and vibrating, but everything was tight. I still haven't nailed down exactly where the noise was coming from, but it could have been from the top end of the engine. The bike never experienced any loss of power or anything like that. Does this sound like normal noise for these bikes?
