Sounds like normal engine noise to me. Put a new muffler on it and drown it out

Can you get it to replicate the sound while sitting? Maybe try holding the throttle at 3 grand to see if a piece of the bike is loose. (like a chin fairing, left side air scoop, or even something more drastic like... oh I don't know...you get the idea.)

??? fwiw- check the horn mount - mine was rattling like crazy at 3000 - just had to tighten the bolt and put a little bit of foam between the horn and the mag fairing.

well i went over it pretty well today,checked almost everything that is bolted on,even the horn. everything seems fine.
so i figured while i was messin around i would de-snorkel it and shorten up the front turn signals.
so i did get something accomplished
