Sounds about right, haven't had the tank off this bike yet so it'll give me a chance to clean under there.

I installed the rocker lockers. Helped a little but still get that noise. From 1,900 rpm up to 3k. Turns on like a switch. I wish I found something to quiet that noise

I did too. The engine is quieter but now all the other sounds from the drive train that you couldn't really hear are amplified.
A friend of mine keeps telling me to put louder pipes on.
