Default Engine Knocking on Decelaration

Getting a heavy knocking/tapping sound when decelerating from high rpm's. on my 06 Street Glide. Possibly excessive rod bearing clearances or other? Your thoughts much appreciated.
22k miles - Amsoil - Regular service performed.

Thanks!

Welcome. I'd look to see if the compensator was tight. Rod knock don't happen generally with low miles like you have.
