Default driving me crazy

Hey guys new member here with a question.. I have a 07 street glide with 31,000 mi. I have a big bore kit with S&S automatic compression release.. I'm getting a clicking sound in 5th gear when I roll into the throttle.. The sound is coming from down by my right foot.. It's usually around 2500 rpms.. Any ideas?? Thanks

Pretty typical place for pinging to occur, it will sound like hitting a couple 3/4 inch wrenches together.

Might want to see about a dyno tune?
Roeder's should be able to get that done, if near them.
