Default Something went south...

I was supposed to leave on a nice road trip from Huntsville, Alabama to Savannah, GA today. I got 40 miles from home and something went sideways in my primary case. The bike revs fine, isn't over heating, and rides ok. When it's moving you can hear something clunking around in the primary. I was able to limp it home without any issues. Any thoughts or suggestions what it could be?

The bike is an '05 fatboy with 25k on it. I had the cam chain adjusters check 3k miles ago and they were fine.
