gas cap issue
Saturday my wife and I went for a ride and we get to the end of our street and she says her bike (2018 Softail Slim) in making some type of noise, so we stop around the corner and I ride it around the block and it was definitely making some type of rattling noise up high but I couldn't quite pinpoint the source of the sound. So long story short we have a service manager ride it and he then switches out the gas cap under a warranty claim, seems there are a lot of gas caps that have been making a rattling noise, and actually if she had louder mufflers put on it would never have been noticed (she still has the original mufflers on). So if you have a rattling noise you can't quite figure out, ride it and push down on the cap to see if it stops the noise ( I was actually feeling around under the tank for something loose).

They are not loose, they are 2 piece and the plastic inner piece breaks and rattles. I found they break faster if you overtighten them.
