FXBB Engine Noise
2018 Street Bob, around 1500 miles with ZERO issues. Was parked for a week and when I rode yesterday I was getting some pretty bad engine noise from the top end. Being a moto guy the only way I can describe it is something similar to some cam or cam chain noise. I realize engine configuration is totally different, I just figured that would be a good way to communicate the noise.
Seems to be coming from directly under the tank. I've checked every fastener I can trying to find something loose, but wasn't able to.
Anyone have the same issue and find it? Hoping to get it fixed before I have to bring it in....

At low RPM it's most apparent, under acceleration it's hard to hear but I feel like it is still there. Seems to be less apparent under compression braking, but that could just be a symptom of the inability to feel or hear it due to vibration.
The vast majority of my experience is on the dirt, but I do feel like this could definitely be a loose fastener somewhere. My gut reaction wants to say it's NOT internal.
