Default 01 Heritage softail chirp/squeak

Have a 01 Heritage softail 70,000 miles with my ported heads, 95 inch kit, high comp cast pistons, 585 S&S gear driven cams. Developed a loud high pitched chirp/squeak this weekend. It does it @ all levels of acceleration even idle. Was out riding this weekend when it started, was gonna ride home but the more I rode the louder it got(so it got its first trailer ride-LOL). I think maybe cam bearings and or cam plate, but would like advise before I tear into it. I do all my own work and porting and have worked on many many bikes, but this is a noise I just have not heard before, and want to know what others think to see if I am tearing into the right components. Any suggestions or help greatly apreciated. Did get new cam bearings @ about 50,000 miles, but I know they could last 10,000 miles or 100,000 miles.

Thanks,
Brian
