I have two hose clamps (the ones that were on the mufflers already) and the band clamps at the head pipes on. All hose clamps and the band clamps tight. I went through and checked all heat shield clamps. The stock mounting points on the head pipes are tight.
I did not reinstall the stock bar support o the mufflers, as it appears these slip ons are for a fat bob, not street bob.
It sounds like it is coming from the front end of the muffler. The head pipe heat shield is not touching the muffler body or muffler heat shield.
Just completed bummed right now. The stock mufflers sounded better right now. I am guess the baffled got jarred lose in shipping or something.
The baffle does not feel lose from the back end of the muffler.

I'm not sure. They never rattled on my bike. They have have jarred loose during shipping like you said. Take them off and see if you can see any other bolts or email vance and hines and ask them they may be able to diagnose what's wrong.

So i popped the mufflers back off, and pulled the muffler heat shields. There was pan head allen screw that held the baffle in on the back end. The baffles slide out and the front end had slits making the end into quarter circle tabs. The slids where about 1/2" long, parallel to the pipe, to allow the baffle to expand collapse.
I bent the tabs outward slightly. It took a little tapping to get them back. Put the heat shields back on and bolted everything back together.
NO MORE RATTLE!
Took the bike for about a 5 mile ride. I like them!
You never had an issue with out the black bar? How long did you run them? I misread you post where you said you didnt use it. Oops.

I ran them this year, there is a chance I'll be upgrading to V&H Big Shots this winter. They may be available in the spring...
