Are you talking about when it's idling and on the side stand?
If so.... I can't believe I'm saying this........ it's normal. My bag and muffler shake on the left side when on the side stand. But lift the bike off the stand and the shake goes away. All of my baggers have done that.

I think the shaking Chris and I are referring to is beyond normal! I know mine is ...or was. Chris you got me determined to find my problem. My rear fender support was broken at the bottom in the bend where it turns out and has 2 bolt holes. Couldnt see it even if you were lookin for it. If i hadn't pulled on the bag rails i wouldnt have found it. took it off, welded it up and no more shake.

No I should have taken one but i didn't. If you look where your under bag support rail bolts to the fender side support the tab where the two bolts go through was broken at the bend. This happened about 40k miles ago but i had forgotten about it. Warranty fixed it the first time.

We have had several customers let us know that the bag rattles stopped when they installed our SaddlebagSecure®. Can't guarantee it - but we would certainly refund your money if it didn't help and you didn't want the product for security reasons.
