Default FLHX Fairing...?

I have a 2013 FLHX with around 100 miles on it. The last day I rode, I noticed a rattle in the fairing. Has anyone else had this problem and what is the fix? I can press hard on the top of the inner fairing and it stops. What do I need to tighten?

I would check all the fasteners. There are the 3 for the windshield and 2on each side. The one by the shocks is hard to find, you will have to turn the wheel. If not that I would take it off and see if the wiring harness is vibrating against the fairing.

are your mirrors shaking more than normal? I would also look at the mounts take off the front fairing and check your mount mounts 100 miles is nothing. My mounts went at about 20,000+ miles, but you never know till you check.

New bike, take it to the dealer.
It's called "Warranty"?

Yes, it is going back to the dealer for sure. I was just curious to make sure it was not something that I could simply fix and save myself a trip to the HD dealer.
