Rattle - Taillights?

I don't dispute the rattle, but I kinda doubt it's from the plastic tail lights.
Regardless, chase it down.
My Heritage had a rear rattle from a slightly malpositioned bag bracket. Readjusted it and the rattle was eliminated.
You should be able to do the same with the rattle source on your bike. Hunt it down and kill it.

I had a rattle from the rear shortly after I got my bike. Turns out the left saddlebag wasn’t sitting properly on the rail.. This was happening even though the securing tabs were screwed on tight. I had to loosen the bag and shift it around a bit to get it sitting properly. It only did it that one time

Yes, still have the factory plate holder. Dealer only used two screws when putting my plate on. I've installed two more. The rattle is still there.

well since you can replicate it, sounds like it's time to let a service tech listen to it and repair it under warranty

No docking system for me but I plan to get it soon....but I kind of enjoy the bare look

Had a similar issue and it was the right side tailight. Was able to shake it by hand and hear it hitting something on fender or saddlebag bracket. Just needed to loosen the mounting bolts for the light assembly and slightly move it til it wasn’t making any noise.
