I dropped my bike yesterday parking in a spot that had a heavy decline on the right side. Have crash bars, and that is what took the brunt of the drop. However, ever since, I keep hearing a rattling noise that at first I thought was coming from the foot brake or even the peg. It happens only at speeds above 30 and only during gear changes or bumps

any ideas on where to look? What to check? Everything seems in place and secure. I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is. But I am sure it has to be related to that drop.

The head of the allen bolt that secures the crash bar to the frame broke off on my bike - caused the exact rattle you describe...and I hadn't even had it down. Maybe check those bolts again... they've got to be fairly brittle.

Thank you! Will do and report back!
