Sounds like what mine did ('07 FLHTC) last year. Made noise when I rolled on power, could be confused for pinging but not quite. Turned out to be the compensator going bad. So it is not out of the question but needs to be tore down to make sure.

Here is a link by a forum member that gives step by step instructions and pictures for you to just inspect or replace it yourself. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...it-w-pics.html

And here is a link to a locking device if you figure you need it.
