Default Screaming Eagle 110" squeaking noise

Hello everybody,
I ride FXDLS 2016 and last season, bike has suddenly started squeeking from the left side, coming from engine area. Looks like it goes from front cylinder, top end. Rear is OK,
I was looking for any loosen bolt or brackets etc. I haven´t found any of this. Pipes tightened pretty well, no neither the exhaust can cause this.
After reading some threads I became to the point, bad lifter is the guilty guy, expecting the noise is getting from the right side to the left via crankcase. I have changed to Feuling lifters and solid lifting bars.
No any signs of excessive wear on rocker arms etc.
Running on RedLine 20W60 oil.
Unfortunatelly this squeeling is still in there
Is starts when engine is a little bit heated up, let say after 2 minutes. Not from very start. After long run it becomes even louder. Bike is running OK, no metal chips in oilt, not any problems.
Here is the video:
Some guys suggest faulty crank, which I do not believe in.
Any suggestions is more than welcome.
Thank you, Ondrej.
