Upper belt guard 4 Months, 1 Week ago  
It seems as if every time i hit a bump i could hear a metallic clunk from the back of the bike, well i finally was able to track it down to the belt guard hitting the frame. Best i can tell it is the front of the guard right bellow the upper bolt that is doing it. When i looked at it the bolts are tight ( took a wrench after them just to check) but it still does it. Has anyone else ran into this or came up with a fix for it?

Do not over tighten the bolt at the front. Its mounted onto a rubber bushing for a reason. you want it to flex and not crack. felt seems to work. I have the same clank.
