Default Windshield Bag
Any tips on how to keep a windshield bag from rattleing and viberating against the windshield? I have the matching bag for the RKC. When cruising at slow speeds like on my street in 1st and 2nd it rattles like crazy. Not a major problem I guess but it is irritating.

Find where the rub or vibration is coming from and get some foam insulation tape from a Home Depot to go between the two parts - it helped mine.

I bent mine, the three bag type.With the bag off the bike I put a small bend just ahead of the rivet where the bags mount to the metal bracket. I was in the auto body repair buisnes for years so it was easy for me. You dont want to bend it to far and crack the paint on the bracket. I used a pair of vicegrips with a 3inch wide end (they are for bending metal). After that no more vibration.
