     I have a sissy bar fitted to my FXDF

    With the vibes of the bike wich I will say aren't that bad the fucken thing rattles like a bastard.

    Any one had this problem? Checked all the mounting etc all looks good. It doesn't quite fit snug as it should. 

    Any ideas ?

     Putting a passenger does fix it. 

    I'm  thinking take it of when not in use but that's not ideal.

     Sissy bar is removable and I did put tape on the bushes. It stopped the rattle for a while but it came back soon enough. 

    Any way I will bitch to the dealer on first service. They might say that's normal but I will still bitch.

    Once the V & H go on the bike I won't here the rattle anyway.

     Ok fixed the problem. 

    I put an o ring on each rear bush then fitted sissy bar over the o rings. 

    Problem fixed no more rattles.

    putting the Ol lady on the back stops the rattles but then the nagging starts.
