Hello,
 \\;
I have a 06" Custom - I just noticed today, that when i open up the throttle quickly, i hear a metallic tap tap tap tap tapping noise\\; it eventually goes away when the speed is up.
 \\;
Is this anything i should worry about?
 \\;
thanks.
Gonna sound strange, but I heard the same thing coming from mine. \\; I had the hardest time figuring out where it was coming from until I had to use a back up key that was not on a chain.
Turned out it was my keys tapping against the frame.
Dunno if that is it for you but its worth a look. \\;
