Default smoke

my 2013 Road Glide 103 has recently started blowingwhite or blue ish smoke from the exhaust primarily from the left side you can see it in the mirrors when taking off ...it appears to only happen at relatively high rpm upon take off. there is also a black sooty residue around the end of my pipes which is not been there before. I have a stage 1 kit with Vance and Hines true duals and Screamin Eagle heavy breather these are the only engine modifications. I have also noticed a slight rattle or knocking at times not necessarily a ping more like a lifter. the bank is still under warranty but I'm concerned I can't get it into my shop until next week thoughts?

Hows the oil level? Sounds like its burning oil. Rings maybe or to much oil in it. I would let it sit untill the dealer can look at it, or go easy when riding.
