Quick Detach Sissy Bar Rattle!
I have a quick detach sissy bar on my 06 Super Glide. The thing rattles annoyingly loud. Is there a way to stabilize it to make the rattling stop? I have tightened all the fasteners on the thing and it continues to rattle. I think the actual noise is coming from the quick detach mechanism itself. I like the way the bike looks with it on, but can't deal with the rattle. No rattle with the GF back there, only when solo.

I had the rattle on my wide glide detachable sissy bar. Same as you only rattled left side at the locking mechanism when solo.
I just lowered the locking mechanism onto some silastic silicone sealant. Took my rattle away

I had the same issue. Got a ripped bicycle tire tube for free from a local bike store, cut four small strips, and placed the strips on the posts before installing and locking down the sissy bar. No more rattles.

Already got the V&H Short Shots. I'll try the tape, then the bicycle tube. Sounds like that should work. Thanks
