I ended up taking the bike to a reputable shop (Bachman's in Woodland) and he found that one of the rollers on a lifter had seized up and trashed the cam lobe. SO...new cams (woods), lifters (feuling), oil pump (feuling), cam support plate (feuling), and upgraded to the hydraulic tensioners. $2650.00 total but she really screams now!

Thanks for all of the input from everyone!
Started to hear a squeak when the engine was under load and headed straight to the forum. Found this and got real worried.

I took a deep breath and decided to sleep on it.
I went outside and started the bike up.
revved and got the squeaking.

I thought to myself “it would be really dumb if I stressed all night over my battery box being loose”

I put some pressure in the box and the rattle stopped. I tighten the box down and flew off into the crisp late spring California air.

I know I sound like a dumb ******* for saying this when your issue was real. But I wanted to put up this as a reminder to check the small things first. This is meant for someone who might be equally as scared as I was and just as simple too
