After 50 miles, I checked the noise and the heavier oil quieted it down. I also didn’t get the sprocket catching the chain noise, or at least that’s what it sounded like to me. So I bought another quart of the Harley heavy syn gear oil 80w-140 for the trans. Now that I’m thinking about it, that may quiet it down some more.
gee, I want it to be as quiet as a Honda Goldwing.

Oh my. When I mentioned that on later year models the primary seemed louder, I was referring to a whining noise.
That clacking is not right.
We had a bike at the shop a few weeks ago with a random clacking. We thought it was the primary...and we actually pulled the primary cover to inspect the chain, sprockets, chain tensioner and clutch. Could not find anything wrong. Put it back together and still heard the clacking.
It ended up being a nut that had come loose and was bouncing around in a horn enclosure.
Hope you get that noise chased down and it ends up being an easy fix.

Installed my 12” Dominator industries mitered apes. Went as planned. Little struggling with the throttle wires but got it going. Rest was pre wired. Had to reroute the clutch cable and brake line but all works fine. Wayyyy better feel than the mini apes. For my arm length and height it’s the comfort bar for me.
I would do it again.

Notgrownup,
Thank you very much for the pictures. Your new bars look just like the bars that were on the CVO Street Glide that I traded on my trike, except they were 10 inch. I didn't know what brand they were as I bought the bike used from a dealer. They look just like the Dominators. I liked them so I'll get the 10 inch. Thanks again for the pictures. They really help.
