Hello all, I just purchased a RGS, about a month ago, and I've noticed when riding with no radio that I hear what sounds like rattling or ticking coming from the fairing/dash area. I've taken it to the dealer and they say nothing is wrong, they took the fairing off and put it back on but I hear the sound coming from inside the fairing. Possibly the radio area. Has anyone else experience this with the newer models? If so, what was the fix? Any advice is greatly appreciated. I'm taking it to dealer again, I paid to much to get a little annoyed when riding it.

 

Not sure if the road glide has the same fairing vent as the Street glide but my bike (SGS) rattles from the vent. I can reach up and put my hand on it and it goes away.

 

On my CVO, the Front Brake Line was just barely touching the inner fairing and when tooling down the road the little bit of movement in the Bars/Bushings would cause the Brake Line to Eeck when rubbing the inner,,, drove me nuts till I figured it out... Also, when I installed my 10" bars, I couldn't get over how some screw & bolts on my frontend & fairing were not even close to the same Tightness when removing them...

 

Bummer. My wife's new car has a rattle somewhere under the dash. Same response... we can't find anything wrong.

 

It's probably the top fairing vent, where it snaps onto the gloss black piece directly under your windshield. There are plastic posts that keep those 2 pieces together. Mine have sheared off on the right side and created a rattle.

 

Check the vent where it attaches as mentioned above, pretty easy for those posts to pop out when taking vent off to remove outer fairing.

Also check the metal tabs/slots on the inner fairing. I had a painted inner installed at delivery and the metal tabs for the inner mounting bracket were in front of the slots instead of inside of them. There was a lot of rattling/squeaking noise and loose crap inside from the vibration. I just happened to catch it when removing the outer to install stereo, if I hadn't caught it the fairing would have ate itself quickly. You can see the slots/tabs from the bottom of the fairing without taking anything off.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, I'm going to take the front/top fairing off this weekend, will be putting a new windshield on, so it will be a good op to check those suggestions out.
