If the bike only has 300 miles on it I assume it's under warranty. Sounds to me like someone needs to ride the chit out of it.

Yea except it didn't make the noise at 200. I'm not going to accept the bullshit that "Oh it's a Harley, they all sound that way".

Not all make the noise and so therefore mine shouldn't.

I have still have or have owned the following and none rattled like this.

99 FXR2
95 Badboy
2005 Ultra
2008 Ultra

Maybe they will put in a Baker DD6 for me.

If I had a new bike that sounded like mine, it would drive me crazy
PM'd you...

My 2013 Electra Classic have to be rebuilt with 2500kms on it, it sounded like a super charger. The main bearing on left side of the transmission was bad, fine metal filing was thru out the transmission.
I now have 13000kms on it and everything is ok.
