Yep my 09 does, but my 05 didn't. I was told it is the troque compensator, that Harley beefed it up for the 96 cu in engine.

My 07 had a "slamming" sound when you started it. The sound went away after a while. I too was told it was normal and coming from the compensator.

I would still have a mechanic at your dealership look at it just for peace of mind.

Mine does it too, but a little less noticable (not as loud) since I added the FuelMoto stage one kit (PCV, slipons, and free flowing intake).
