No clue what the hell a "hey jingling on a frame"is but you answered your own question..."when your in too low of a gear and accelerating"...think that may be the problem?

Yes. Has been addressed in other threads. My "tink" happens upon acceleration in any gear. Still no answer. This "tinking" and the rattling of the exhaust guards are the two complaints about my Fat Bob.

Have you changed to synthetic oil? Since I changed I get a little more tranny whine than before.

By too low a gear do you mean you low engine speed and accelerating? If you do I get that and am pretty sure it's detonation (pinging). I get it a lot climbing the hill to my house if I'm in the wrong gear.

I had my tuner tune it out. Its pinging. It would drive me crazy when under load or grabbing a handful of throttle in a higher gear. When he ran it on the dyno it also showed pinging in both cylinder's. He retarded the timing to eliminate it. I would find a good tuner in your area and get them to have a look. The dealer's I went to all said its normal no pinging (once you buy the bike they have an acute case of hearing loss), I was lucky to find the same tuner Mud used. Please check before you do it that nothing is loose exhaust covers, jiffy stand etc.
