Default Advice-guesses?

Have 07 Road Glide,38,000 mi. with 103" D&D FatCats, Andrews cam, Se compensator. Riding this weekend and after bike got warm, @20 miles or so, getting Rattling or clanking noise with added vibration on bike, especially in 6th gear at 70-75 mph and above. sounds like coming from priary, but hard to tell. Any guesses or advice on what to look at?

Check fluid level in primary. Check primary chain tension.

I would also drop the primary oil and look for metal on the plug magnet. I had the inner primary bearing fail at 28K on my 07 Road Glide.

Could the primary chain be hitting the case?
