I just wanted to check w/ the pro's and see if this in normal.  I'm getting a lot of rattling noise coming from the rocker box location when I'm at speed (first noticed it at 60 mph).  Is there a normal about of noise for the 94 evo that I should just ignore?  With this being my first Harley...I wanted to check it out.  Thanks for the assist.

Are you sure its not coming from the carb ( if its not injected) especially if its a Mikuni...The slides can rattle quite a bit and at 60 mph its hard to tell where its coming from..

It's very possible it's coming from the carb.  It's an S&S carb though.  Try'n to narrow down the source while doing 60 and pulling my head down close to the engine all while trying not to wreck....  :teeth:

My 89 FLHTC has always had a rattling noise.
I think it may be from the front push rod.
I have had three different cams in the bike.
It did it with the stock carb and the Mikuni I now run.
