Default Buzzing Pulley Cover

I've had my FXDS for 3 days now.....and there is a buzzing from the rear when I let off the gas. Now, buzzing probably drives me more crazy than most, so this evening my daughter and I started tapping on things to see what was loose. Turns out the previous owner installed a solid chrome cover on the rear pulley.....there is just enough flex that if you tap it with your knuckle, it buzzes like a ****........does anyone see an issue with placing a thin gasket between the cover and the pulley to kill the buzz?????

More importantly, do you think that gasket will stay in place at highway speeds, say 65 mph???
