yeah ,well Ive been wrenching on this bike a few years now,and in all honesty ive learned more about wrenching my bike here than anywhere else,,and im very grateful I got it home ,last ride was Mothers Day ,surprise trip to my Moms 330k away for a surprise lunch,up the beautiful sunshine coast,,I made the trip all the way there all the way back to 3 km from home,,was a grateful ride,,,since then i bought a 2015 roadglide,and the ****in thing is leaking oil at 700km,,,and tech has the ***** to tell me at first service,that theres no leak,that its just messy from me not cleaning oil off after change,guess he assumes im just another rub!! cant wait to shake his hand after he sees the oil all down one side.
I tell ya I'd rather wrench on my shovel.

Have you popped the plugs and taken a look in the holes ? While pistons can seize it usually takes a hell of a beating at high RPM's to do it and then other things go whack loudly......
Pull the pushrod covers and see if anything looks fubar as it sounds like it may have sucked a valve and locked in the top of the piston , kinda what I'm hearing here , good luck man

Have never...ever locked a motor via bottom end nor piston seizure.
Something is going on mechanically...Betting there is a Pushrod that will fall out when the tube is removed...Dropped a Valve as that Twizted "horn dog" indicates...
Spinnin the **** out of an old Shovel can result in such happenings.
