Windshield chatter
Hey guys, I'm having an issue that I seem to have a hard time diagnosing and I've ran out of ideas.
I went for a ride with the wife this weekend on my 12 RK. Everything was great until we stopped and had lunch. As we were leaving and I was pulling out of the lot at very low speeds I hear a chatter noise (almost reminiscent to the sound of a v8 with open exhaust- so much so that I thought it was the car in front of me).
It only seems to be happening at lower speeds/low rpm. There doesn't seem to be any excessive vibration in the bars or front wheel. I did install lower wind deflectors earlier in the week but all seemed to be fine before that. I'm lost and checked all that I know to check. Just hoping someone has seen this before and it's an easy diagnosis.
Thanks!

Do you have an open air filter and free flowing exhaust? I have the same kind of sound and it's from my heavy breather air cleaner. I only heard it at high speeds until I installed the fork fangs and now I hear it at low speeds as well.

I'm running a Rushmore breather setup and cvo/fullsac exhaust. It's definitely the shield. I can see it vibrate hard and when I grab it when it starts the sound immediately stops.
