Detachable backrest rattling
I put a detachable backrest on my 08 FXDWG and it rattles. I've had detachables on three other bikes with no rattling whatsoever. There isn't much room for adjustment of the docking points. Any ideas?

Same here, had mine coated and it is nice and snug. Being that you have a WG I dont know if you want to go that route. If the dealer doesnt have any sugestions and wont replace it, mabe you can slightly bend the front tabs until they contact both sides of the mounts.
