Engine Knocking
I have a 1999 Road King Classic with 52,000 miles on it. Recently it seems like my engine is vibrating more during idle. After noticing this I have also noticed a knocking sound when on the throttle.
Bike appears to be running fine...no problems with RPM or sound of the exhaust. None of the 10 codes is showing an error either.
Thank you.

Oil pressure is okay. I do have what I believe is an inner primary leak but I have been checking the oil and making sure it's at correct level while I work on leak.
Not sure on the cam tensioners as I bought the bike used a few years ago.

With that mileage, I would definitely check the cam tensioners to see. I would go down through the rockers and freshen up the top on the way down. If you have stock tensioners it would be a good time to upgrade to either gears or the new hydraulic kit. If you have the money, could also do a 95" at the same time.
