Ticking
I did a 103HQ on my Flhtc. I used AMS lifters. I changed oil at 100 then at 500 and again at 1,000. I then replaced the oil with amsoil. I went on a 1500 mile trip ( It was really hot ) The bike started ticking at 2200 rpm in third, fourth, fith or sixth gear. I have read about the synthetic causing the bike's to tick but this is the only rpm that it does it. What do you think?

RE: Ticking
Now that's very odd - assuming it's not timing.
Does this ticking occur in neutral as well?
With in neutral, idle around 2200, can you pin point where the noise is coming from?
What's the oil pressure at 2200 RPM?
Maybe worth a call to AMS about the lifters - see what they have to say about the ticking.
