Default 2011 heritage softail classic IPB repair

I have this noise still, even after the IPB and all other bearings were replaced (lots of metal shavings in the primary). They believe it's the clutch. I have esp so it's gonna cost me $50
extremely frustrating 😑
We decided to wait until the off season and it goes back in then.

My '07 Ultra did the same thing last year. Ended up being the inner primary bearing/race. Did the job myself, not very difficult.

Is the noise noticably different from the dreaded neutral rattle?
