Rattling caps
Do all of the ratchet style fuel caps rattle, or are mine just worn out? I can hear them over the wind noise and pipe music.

Had a sporty with a rattle cap. Drove me nuts. Replaced it with stock cap. Rode it three more years with no rattle before selling it. It's a cheap enough part to replace.
