My annoying rattle

PMK

Reps Liaison Officer
You may recall I had a rattling heatshield frightening the life out of me with a horrid rattle.

Today the stars aligned and I got a drying opportunity to have a look.

The shield itself was tight however, I pushed the top heatshield screw and the front downpipe moved. I threw some light on the subject with a small torch and the entire front downpipe was moving in the clamp.

I tested the bottom bolt and it was tight. So I tried the top bolt and managed 3/4 of gentle turn, (I had Mr B in my head saying "don't break that f@#ker") and now the pipe is solid.

Road test to Kent tomorrow.
 
My Dyna Street Bob Special vibrated so much, the front down pipe completely parted from the engine. Sounded great! Backrest/luggage rack tried to dismantle itself too.
