Check your exhaust to see if it's tight at the rear and front cylinders. It could be just an exhaust leak from the install of aftermarket pipes.

Ok I have done some repairs on bike. I had a loose primary chain and the lifters and pushrod upgrade quieted down immensely. I have no exhaust leaks guaranteed and with the mechanics scope the same out of the ordinary tapping noise that is kinda a echoing tapping noise coming from the top end of my rear cylinder. Bike runs fine that I can tell but this noise is different than any other bike valve train I have owned. I only have 6k miles on the bike.
