There is a new design cap for the softails. Mine started rattling so I mentioned it to the service writer at my local dealer. He told me to bring it to him and he would give me the new style that does not rattle. Problem is now fixed.

Never ever heard mine rattle. Until yesterday on my first ride out of hibernation. I'll be trying Felix's mod for sure. Sounds like my kind of fix. The others would have me nervous about dropping something in the tank.

Love this site!
