I noticed a noise sometimes when I was riding like a clanging, I just thought that it was the heat shields on the mufflers! When I was wiping the bike down after a ride, I pinpointed the source, as both nuts were missing & the flange was just floppin around creating the mysterious noise that I heard! I am addressing this matter this morning at the dealership!
Update! Took the bike to the dealer this morning & they addressed the problem in the quick lane! I got out in about 35 Mins, & bike is good as new! I did not mind waiting because the sales girls who work there are smokin, & I luv chattin with them & talkin bikes!!!
