The springs on the compensator can get weak. They may need replaced or shimmed. Go through Joe Lyons post on the compensator spring height.

Your bike should have the A&S clutch in it. As far as I know they're pretty stout.

Use formula + in the primary, does it with the clutch in our out. You can tighten the chain and get rid of the chatter, but you I don't want to run chain that tight,

I think Ohio nailed it.  What is your idle rpm and cams?  A low or lumpy idle will set off a rattle in the comp if it is loose.   The extra weight and work (movement) the comp does in the heavier Tri Glide  can wear the assembly in pretty quick. A loose chain will accentuate it too. If you follow the instructions in the 14+ comp thread it may show the comp to be marginal in the stack height.  Adding the shim(s) if needed will fix it.
