I have a 2013 FXDWG, a few miles over the 5k mark, so I have a service due, I have always gone to the dealership for service, mainly to have them check small issues here and there.
Anyway, now only at speed, and only from 2k - 2150 rpms, I have a rattle/scrape noise loud enough to hear over V/H longshots. I am taking to dealer to check it out, just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience, or thoughts on what it could be.
No other issues, no problems, and once I pass 2150, noise is gone.

Where is it coming from? Front cylinder, rear cylinder, Exhaust? Sounds like a heat shied may be loose.
I am no expert, but if I had to guess, I would say right off the heads, cant really tell which cylinder. From what I can hear, I dont think it is anything loose, like a heat shield, or timer cap, anything like that, not vibrating metal, more like something inside the engine.
