In any case it's still under warranty, take advantage of it.

I am starting to think that these engines really like thicker oils, at any operating temps of 70f or higher.

Have any of you tried running a straight 50wt or 60wt oil? I know alot of dirt bike guys run Rotella 15w40 due to its high zinc content which seems to deaden sounds from the engine. I do not know of anybody running a Diesel oil in their Harleys though.

Thoughts? Experiences? I am all ears.

That sounds more logical than an oil problem since it happens at a specific rpm.
