Metallic rattle when I accelerate
I have a 2006, Electra Glide Ultra Classic, I'm getting a metallic sounding rattle when I accelerate. I notice it when I'm going fast and throttle down hard. My bike has about 13,000 miles. Help a brutha out!

I've had the gas cap make some crazy sounds at certain vibrations on my '06.

Noises are something that typically can't be sussed out on the World Wide Web...they can be frustrating, for certain, but there's no way that we can hear what you can hear...

I 2nd spark knock.. my cousins 08 has been doing it for years and his is definitely spark knock
you don't say if you have changed exhaust/AC or both BUT
get some good premium 93 octane or some octane boost and see if it helps

How fast and what gear are you in when you put the hammer down?

Somethings loose, check all your bolts and clamp nuts.

The last gear, 5th gear, usually when I’m doing 50 or more and powering the throttle down.
