Default fat bob question?

so I have had my fat bob for about two weeks. I bought my last bike with pipes on it already so i didnt know if this was common with factory exaust on fat bobs or not. When i am ridding it I can sometimes hear a light rattle when slowing down that sounds like it is comming from... maybe the pipes, something with the exaust orwho knows? Did not know if this is something that anyone else has had a problem or not? any help would be awesome. I plan on throughing some shots on her once I get some more cash but till then im rollin mostly stock.

I had a rattle on my fat bob and it was the exhaust.On mine it was the heat shield for the rear cyl. the one with the tommy gun holes.Where theshield comes together with the two into one shield was rattleing against the exhuast pipe.I loosened the two clamps and adjusted the tommy gun shield.Hope this helps.....

Both of the sensors at the top of the pipes worked loose on mine after a weekwhich caused rattles ....just nipped them up and been fine since.
