Default 97 FXWG Rattle

It's kind of a dumb one. I took a factory sissy bar, side plates and the stock seat off, installed the LeaPera solo brick for around town and short rides. Problem is the rear fender and or one of the chrome strut covers has a low RPM buzz /rattle and it's annoying as fukk. Is there some spacers that should have gone between the fender and the strut? I think the rubber mounts are getting petrified and not really doing they're job but at 60 mph its smooth as silk, off idle and lower RPMs it shakes? It's been a long time since I've owned a dyna and some times I enjoy a challenge but this is got to get figured out.

I hope we can figure yours out, because my '94 Fatboy has developed an annoying rattle as of late. I'm replacing the worn-out jiffy stand spring today and hoping that's it.
