    I don't deal much with the quick detach sissybars. I put one on my Dad's Hd no problem, except the bolts provided in the kit were too dang short.I was ready for that from other stories..
    However my friend's 07superglide has just got a HD detach sissybar installed. It rattles right at the point where the clip and latch go around the pin. He tried thin rubber, black tape and a few other things that have not worked. I really don't know I said maybe felt or something.
    I know someone here has the answer.
    I told him to take it back ($400) wow installed!!!!! and rattles!!!!! anyone???

    TAKE IT BACK. Mine never even comes close to rattling - I bet they forgot a bushing or something.

    possibly wrong, bad, or wissing bushing, or could even be one that slipped through QC whatever the case take it back and explaine your issue, give them the chance to make it right, if they dont or you catch flac then let us know about it and where. bad press spreads fast
