Squeaking in my rear.
I have a squeaking sound coming from the back of my bike. I am thinking it's either from my pipes or my tourpak. I have the quick detach set up. What do I need to check/replace to get rid of this annoying noise.

Hold your foot against the muffler (s). If it's like mine, it's the rubber sleeve holding the muffler strap

I've got the sqeaking and occasional clunk. Lean on the bags and it all goes away.

LOL, I thought the title may get some attention.

Try a little silicone grease where the bags mount on the supports.

Just lube the muffler rubbers up with Seal Glide or some other O ring lube, it will keep the rubber soft and keep them from squeaking

Remove the bags and inspect the brackets...I think I have read in another thread that one of the brackets has a tendency to loosen or crack.
