Default Three Small Pouches

Anyone have any pointers on how to stop the rattles in the fairing once you install the Harley Three-Pocket Fairing Pouch ???
It's pretty noisey with the clutch out and slow speeds???...
Thanks....

i went to the auto parts store and got some weather striping, and put it between the pouch's and the shield, it stop it from bouncing around, mine was pretty bad. i don't have the same pouch like yours, mine goes straight across. but it still should help. as a mater of fact i did the same thing on my passenger back rest it was slamming on the trunk real bad. i asked the dealer about it but you know the answer to that mine was so bad it was marking the inside of my NEW shield.

Have had mine installed on two different windshields (stock and LRS) and the thing is solid as a rock with no rattles. The fact that you can remove the left side pouch was a must for me because of the fairing mounted GPS.

Or, you could just ditch the unattractive 3 pouch set up and go with a much more attractive and useful 2 bag windshield pouch. I use this on mine and no rattles or squeaks or bitching at all. Lots of room in each bag and if you are careful you can fit 2 pairs of sunglasses in each pouch.

Go to Lowes, the dept that sell rubber tips for chair legs. There they have sticky bcked thick felt round dots, about 3/4 " in diameter. Stick on on the windshield near the corner of each pouch. Worked for me.
