V&H Staggered Short Shots rattle 7 Months ago  
I have had my V&H staggered short shot exhaust installed and running for about three months, 1500 miles. Last week I heard a small rattle (metal to metal) and it sounded like it was coming from the exhaust. It is getting a little worse. I hear it mainly when I first start up. I don't hear it after the bike is running and warmed up. I have shaken and poked everything I can and can't find the rattle. Has anyone had the same problem with their V&H?

I've had mine for about 1 1/2 yrs. and haven't had any problems. You checked the clamps that hold the heat shields on right? Thats about the only thing I can think of that would cause it. Hope you find somethin.

Do you have baffles? Are they removable? If so, are they bolted in tight?
