Clicks in the rear?

[Sassy]

In the vid your looking up at the rear gear.
This click has been happening for a few riding seasons but never got any worse till now. Usually only does it when the bike is hot from riding at slow (~10 mph or less)speed. About 6-7000miles since grease, recent ujoint, rear brake disc, pads and wheel bearings.
Any ideas if what to look for when I pull it apart? I've checked everything over several times when changing tires etc.

hi , the bottom bolts on both shocks need copper grease , the other test dont know if its the right thing to do but my mech did it to find a clicking , put the bike of the stand and sit on it then run the air in the rear shock up { the pressure will read wrong } soon as it gets to 70 or 80 psi delate it IMMEDIATELY and listen for the clicks or clunks , its either shocks or swinging arm bearings , mine is the rear air shock , others may say this is the wrong thing to do but my guy has been working only and i do mean only on WINGS for 30yrs .pt

Thanks for your input.
I should have said the bike is on the center stand and was hot from riding. I just gently rolled the wheel to get the clicking.
After the bike cooled I went back and did the same, no clicking.
I haven't disassembled yet but in previous inspections nothing showed up.

If you only do it hot, it is something that dilates. Then cold, obviously, it doesn't.

On the center stand and with abit of force I moved the wheel back n forth and got some play like the sloppy rearend in my truck.
Won't be able to tear it down for a while , family visiting and roofing job but will post findings.

So, I took a chance and ordered a "low mileage" final drive and mating drive axle off eBay from a Canadian Goldwing only seller before I even pulled the noisy one.
Once I got the old one out I couldn't really see a reason for the noise, a little play in the crown n pinion but didn't think excessive, bearings felt good too and nothing in the oil.
Thought ya probably wasted my money but put the new one in and all is well back there now!!
