Default f.y.i.- vibration and rattle on 2014 street glide

700 miles on new street glide , went for a ride on sunday, noticed vibration and a loud rattle at 1200 - 2200 rpm's , . goes away above that, or when pulling clutch in. rattle is between the fairing and the forks. spent an hour going over every nut and bolt to find nothing loose. took it for a quick spin later on and happened to close the new flapper in the fairing, which i must have opened before taking off .. and that was it ! drove me crazy... has anyone else had this issue or a fix for this other than just keeping the flap closed and opening it only on the highway.

Hi from the UK and welcome to HDF. I suggest you call in the Touring forum, where you will come across plenty of fellow SG owners.There is even a dedicated Rushmore section there as well, for '14 bike owners!
