2015 FLD Switchback

I noticed at idle that the rubber insert on by left floorboard is rattling. When I put my foot on it the noise stops. Under the floor board the insert looks to be attached by bolts with robber covers on them. Does any one know if I can just pull off these rubber covers to tighten the rubber floor board some?

I have the same issue. I've never tried fixing. I've replaced the floorboard inserts with the HD Slipstream. Yes, the floor board inserts will pop out by pulling on them. Rubber ***** (for lack of a better term) hold them in.

I found that one of the bolts that attach the floor board to the frame was loose and tighten it. I hope that does the job.

Any issues at all take it to the dealer. With it being under warranty you shouldn't have to do anything to the bike. Welcome to the family though. Are you part of the switchback pro boards? its a dedicated switchback forum.
