Default Gas Tank Rattles

First post here and new owner of '06 Street Bob. Bike is great, but I have one issue that I need help with. My gas tank rattles when I go over a bump or rough section of road. It rattles right under where the seat and tank meet together. Through some troubleshooting and talking with fellow HD riders and family riders the are saying that I am missing a bushing underneath the tank to keep it from rattling. However the dealership had no such part on any of their diagrams when trying to get what I needed to fix this problem.

Anyone else experienced or fixed this problem? If so how? Advice?

Thanks for your help.

Tighten both your bolts with a wrench..if it still does it push on your gas cap and see if the rattle stops

Yes, it is a common occurrence with Dynas. All you need to do is tighten them up. It is usually the front that is loose.
