Default 04 1200r noise on right side maybe

Just put hammers 570 cams, SS lifters,thunderheader exhaust and mikuni carb. Fresh oil on primary and secondary. Bike pull real strong now but right when I’m about to come to a stop I hear a noise which sounds like it’s coming from the right side only does it around 2k rpm maybe 3k, any pointers before I get to deep
thanks

Is it simply the sound of large volumes of air being sucked through a 40 mm orifice by a very big engine ?
