Hopefully someone here will be able to help my solve this issue. I have recently ran into a issue with an intermittent squeak in my valve train. I have recently rebuilt the top end and replaced the primary chain tensioner and compensator. I have shared the video which I will post, to several friends. Alot of them a saying lifters are the issue. I local guy who works on Harleys thinks it may be something more serious.
I would like to say its lifters or somewhere in the cam chest. However, may be you guys can help point me in The right direction.

I had a mystery squeek, came and went, same bike same year. Mine sounded like front end, fairing, or top end. Hard to hang off the bike while riding and illusive at idle. It was the front cylender brace to the frame. The heim joints were sloppy from age. Worth a try, maybe hit it with WD40 to shut it up temorarily?
