Harley 3 Pouch Warning
This is not so much a warning about the pouch as more a funny story about my stupidity and hope that no one does the same thing. After installing a radio from Biketronics (still working outstanding) I added the Harley three pouch for my windshield and put the things I thought necessary in them. After riding a hundred miles or so I kept hearing a rattling noise that seemed to come from inside the fairing near the top and always at 1800 RPM when the fairing has a mild vibration. I took the fairing off in search of the culprit thinking it was loose wires or connections that I could tie up and stop it. After much searching and many ties, I happened to look in the middle pouch and saw a plastic turnpike pass and my reading glasses; which believe it or not when the fairing vibrated they made a pretty good rattling noise. I hope others are not like me and think a little before taking the bike apart. And I did put my pants on before I went out today.............

Glad at least you found it and there wasn't a problem to deal with.
I remeber my first ride after installing the guardian bell that my daughter gave me one Christmas. I didn't actually disassemble anything, but I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out where that strange noise was coming from.........

I had a serious noise from my Rk after I bought it. Had ridden home in the rain so I did not hear much being distracted by the pelting I was getting. I did not realize I had a guardian bell 'til I searched for the damn ringing ping!! Thought I had a bracket loose somewhere! OOUUCH!!did I feel 'toopid!
