Has anyone come up with a fix for the Backrest pad that has 2 little black bumpers that rattle without a passenger leaning against it on the top of the Tour Pak lid? There has to be something to keep it from that annoying rattle. I'm not sure which is worst the Girlfriends rattaling off at the mouth or the Backrest......... HELP

 

I havent found a cure yet, I have a king with the chopped backrest on it and I listened to it rattle for 500 miles going to Reno, and 500 more on the way back home!!

 

There has got to be something its about to drive me crazy..........I'm not the most mechanical but enough of you guys are, Come On!

 

i've experienced the same noise on my 05 uc....there are several screws under the trunk that can be tightened and it did reduce my noise quite a bit but be careful not to over tighten and crack the fiberglass.

 

I got some of the stick on velcro pads.....the loop portion..........and attached them to the box where the rubber bumpers made contact. The vibration then was absorbed by the pad. If you put several of these small velcrosquares on top of each other they will actually hold some tension against those bumpers and eliminate the rattle entirely instead of just masking the noise.

YMMV but this worked for me.

 

Ok this is not a joke but a simple solution. I have had my Chopped Pak on for now over 11k miles and this is the best solution I have come up with. I have tried adjusting and moving the atachments, didn't work too great. Best solution...stuff a Microfiber towel behind the Pad and all problems solved.

 

Tricked out Harley....$23,000+
Digital Camera..............$230
Microfiber Towel...........$2.3
23 y.o. Daughter willing to look silly on the net (who still lives at home and is in her 5th year of college and wants to get her pHd before leaving home)....PRICELESS!

For everything else there is..."The Biker Bar"

 

Its funny because I just tried the Towel fix yesterday before I saw the post. I was just trying to find a better looking fix..............
