Annoying Rattle

...just wrapped some rubber tape over the tab and put it all back together..the additional fender extender i have vibrates it a bit...ah well!...what the hell!...
 
When I first received the bike, was wiping it down and when wiping the front fender I heard a rattle as if something was loose, and sure enough the screws holding the grey plastic part of the fender were loose. I was surprised thinking didn't (shouldn't) the dealer have checked all screws and bolts and torqued them to specs before delivery! 3 of 4 were loose. tightened them.
Haven't heard anything since only because the bike has been parked in the effin garage because of the effin snow and sh!tty weather. I need to move :mad:

we all need to move
 
Found my rattle. Pulled the front fender, put some gorilla tape on the tabs and put it back on. No more noise when I tapped it. Unfortunately when I went for a ride to check it out, the rattle was still there. Started doing some 30mph motorcycle yoga reaching around and grabbing everything I could. Turns out my rattle was the headlight assembly. Pulled over and gave it a good wiggle and shake, no more rattle!

Not a permanent cure I'm sure but at least when it comes back I know where to look!
