Angry Bike started pinging

Not sure why, but the bike started pinging on faster accelerations. I noticed it the other day after I was stuck having to put regular fuel in it, although it might have been doing it before that. I've since run two tanks of premium fuel through, but it's not getting any better. I have the 103", 255se cams, v&h bsl, and a s&s a/c. I took the pcv out this spring and am just running the HD 103 flash, but like I said, it only just recently started doing it. What should I look for????

Cloged fuel filter causing it to go lean?

Could be, I'm also thinking that maybe the last fuel stop could have been bad fuel anyways. It was an old station in the middle of nowhere, so how much premium would they really go through? Might be worth a new fuel filter anyways, I'm sure I'm due for one. Any other ideas??

No. Last time same thing happens to me two weeks after a dyno run. I thought something was off. First I thought a bad dyno tune then I thought it was a slipping clutch then it dawned on me it might be a fuel filter and sure enough I couldn't even blow through it. I'm pretty sure your issue is a bad filter.
