HSATF Tail Gunner Posts: 81 02/21/08 3:05 PM	Tags : climbingwall, headlight Hey Ya'll, I'm hoping someone has had a similar problem, and will know the fix. My headlight is vibrating and causing a rattling noise when I'm riding. I can reach past my speedo and just touch the headlight and the noise stops. I've checked to see if the light is loose, but no. I've checked to see if anything is contacting the light, but again, no luck. It seems to be an intermittent problem that will stop when I throttle down, or speed up. However, it isn't speed related, because it occurs and various speeds. Any thoughts? Cheers!

It was improperly installed and rattled. I see that your T does not have a headlight visor in your Members Tourer photos, unless you've added one since. If you ever pulled the lamp out of the headlight bucket you'd see a lot of wiring behind it. Both turn signals route into the headlight housing and I believe that there is a recptor that the turn signals and headlight plug into. It could be possible that something inside the housing is rattling against the inside of the bucket. Might be worth a peek. alepel "Ride with the Spirit always, and in all ways"....hombldr Last Edited By: alepel 02/21/08 3:39 PM. Edited 1 time.

These break very easily and that has caused the rattling against the housing. The bracket in the housing is very hard and brittle metal. I am hoping someone may know of a fix for this. I am going to add some rubber dampeners between the bracket and frame and see if that helps. I have been through 5 brackets in 9 years. R
