I’m thinking that’s what I’m gonna have to end up doing. I was hoping to avoid that. It had the noise, albeit a bit quieter before the comp change, but I really hear it now.

Does it make noise sitting in first gear? If not, it's coming from the transmission, maybe neutral rattle.
Sprockets and shafts have runout, could be excessive.
If the chain free play change is drastic as you turn it, check sprocket and trans main shaft runout.
Take the tensioner apart and clean anytime it has to come off, zip tie it all the way open, install, cut tie, let it ratchet.
Turn and check tension every 1/8-1/4 turn by pushing down on the chain at the shoe, pushing out the spring pressure the tensioner has and checking free play in the chain at the top.
If you find chain free play changes a good bit and have a overly loose spot, you can try manually pushing the tensioner adjustment one click, see if it quiets down

Before you run it without the primary cover on, try do do a really good job of cleaning up all the oil. I've done this, and am glad I also went to the trouble of taping on a carboard deflector to reduce splatter. Even then, I got some oil spray on my saddlebag and some of the lower frame. It's amazing what gets thrown from a squeaky clean primary.

OK, Took the primary cover off. removed the compensator. All looks good there. took the chain completely off, and spun clutch basket by hand. I heard a rattle. I think I might have found my issue. If I hold the basket and quickly move it back and forth, you can hear the clutch discs mving around. I have two vids, one running with the cover off, and two, the basket rattle:
Thoughts?
