Horrible tapping/clicking noise.
Yes RedBaron, that's exactly what I did. As long as the lock nut is flush with the bottom, the top bolt will tighten them down simultaneously. I used blue lock-tite as well. Cuz 'red' is way to strong if I need to adjust again.
Wait, in the picture is that a hose or a bar that's next to the frame. If its a hose you can just remove one end from the gas tank and make getting in there easier. Just make sure you drain the gas with a siphon first :P I learned that from experience the hard way lol. You can pick up a cheap siphon from an auto parts store for like...5 bucks.

Lol after looking at it i figured it was a hose to something
Gave it another try today. Took some work, but I got it! It's in such a tight spot so it was tricky at first. Followed those directions, and had no major issues.
Thank you guys again for the help. You saved me the cost of a shop bill AND I was able to ride in the 60 degree weather today!!
Thank you again!

Decided to go out earlier to enjoy a short ride since weather is slowly getting colder. I started the bike, everything seemed normal, no issues. I rode about 8 miles before coming to my first stoplight. As I was slowing down, that's when I heard the noise start. I do not know when exactly it wouldve started because those 8 miles was a constant 60mph with no stops.
At idle and low RPM it sounds like BB's in a can. 5k or above, the sound is gone. I was not riding around on purpose with this noise - I only know that because I babied it home after the noise started. As the RPM's climb it goes from a tapping, to like.. a whistle (or air rushing through something) to nothing.
It's hard to pinpoint where it's coming from. It's sounds like it's below/in front of the gas tank. I tried getting multiple angles hoping one angle would give better sound than another.
From what I have seen on here, seems like it might be the CCT? It currently has an APE CCT on it. What do you guys recommend I do as my next step?
Thank you in advance gentlemen!

I can tell that sound comes from the timing kit
you need to change everything there (Chain, skates and tensioner)
