Default This normal? Fat boy

Hey everyone, new here, recently acquired this 2013 fat boy lo. I’m just wondering if this is normal sounding, it seems to run fine and sound good on ride but I can’t help but feel like the motor sounds a little off. I’ll leave a video, it bugs out briefly at the end.

Ummm... could be my old ears, but I didn't hear anything out of the norm...

What is is that you hear, that you believe is abnormal....???

it sounded like a light rattle coming from primary, turned out the tensioner in there was over tightening. Was chain rattle. I couldn’t get over it, I took it to have it looked at.

all in all worth it, it was due for 20k all around , needed a back pad as it was shot and tires also. So mostly preemptive stuff.
