What are you running in the bags?

Hell I have a 2016 with 2x10" Mid-Bass pushing 600 watts each and no rattles.

4 6x9s, I can stop it if I push down on top of lids. Shop here in town does competitions is also running 4 6x9s and has the same issue with a 17 road glide. He said he hasn't found a fix yet. Don't know what type of music you listen to, if I listen to jazz or old school rock no problem, when I play San quinn,Quick, Dogg Pound any song with heavy bass is when it sounds like two short dudes are in the bags fighting.

2 in each lid? or are they in the bags?

If they are in the lids, what lids are they? and the other bike, are they running the same lids?

Did you use and sound deadener or second skin? I do believe it helps. others may say yey or neh.

What type or how are they mounted in bags? with rings? or AHB kit?

For me, it was the lock cylinder vibrating. I removed the cylinder, wrapped it with a single wrap of cloth Tessa tape. I've found the placing placing cloth Tessa tape between wherever 2 hard surfaces meet (i.e. where a metal bracket attaches to a hard plastic surface) takes care of a lot of vibrations. It doesn't add any significant thickness, but is just enough to isolate 2 hard surfaces.

I had a problem with one vibrating form the inner lip of the lid hitting the outer lip of the bag. I 1/8th" strip of foam tape on top of the bag would stop it, but looked like hell. I took it off but worked to tell me where it was.

No sound deadener, the shop guys bags are carpeted. Using rings, facing the wheel.
