Well I pulled the bags off and the water bottle holster bags off the bag guards so I could get a better look see.
I haven't found anything broken yet but haven't pulled the heat shields off yet either.
I tightened up the allen bolts on the crossover hanger a little but they weren't really loose.
What I did find was the rubber grommet on the left side muffler hanger had a lot of play up and down and side to side.I think maybe having ridden in some extreme heat (116 degrees) may have weakened it.
I loosened the bolts on the hanger and shimmed it with a piece of metal then tightened it back up and I can't move the muffler around anymore by hand.
I ordered new hanger grommet inserts in the meantime.
Tomorrow I'll give her a good wash and put the bags back on then go for a spin to see if there's still a rattle.
