#79129 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1948 Re:Metallic clank 4 Years, 1 Month ago   I had the same thing. I, too, put a thin felt pad between the belt guard and the lower frame. If you look at the screw where it mounts in the front, then look a little to your right and down, you'll see where the guard and frame are reeeeeally close together. The upper belt guard flexes a lot, so the slightest bump makes it clank. I took a sheet of that felt pad you put on the bottom of lamps and such to keep from scratching the funiture. I guess the piece I cut was about 1" X 2". I stuck mine to the frame rather than the belt guard, but I don't really think it matters. When you get that clank/rattle fixed, you'll be able to hear the next one, and we'll all chime in about that one, too.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #79130 javawave (User) Over 17235 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5710 Re:Metallic clank 4 Years, 1 Month ago   SobaCracka wrote: I had the same thing.

I will do that in the morning. thanks Soba!   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #79147 Big Bear (Moderator) Who loves you , Baby? Moderator Posts: 6997 Re:Metallic clank 4 Years, 1 Month ago   Javawave.....If you pull the two 8mm screws out of the belt cover , and remove it , you Will see where it has been rubbing at (mostly where the swing arm is molded into it at). Put your "padding" in there , and you should be good to go. BB   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #79202 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1948 Re:Metallic clank 4 Years, 1 Month ago   Oh, and for anyone who might be reading this thread, I had a squeak coming from the upper belt guard, too. Took the mounting screws out, pulled the guard, pit some silicone grease on the rubber grommet, squeak's gone. Dry rubber and flexing metal make for squeaks it would seem.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #79241 Charlie Horse (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 194 Re:Metallic clank 4 Years, 1 Month ago   My belt guard was not hitting the frame but the belt itself, so the felt did not do the trick. So what I did was remove the rubber grommets and bolted the guard direct between 2 stainless steel washers. I can't quite understand why the belt guard needs to be "isolated" in the first place. Not a sound from there since...   Logged     Charlie Horse It only hurts when I laugh!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #79257 mrdon59 (User) Zoom-Zoom Junior Boarder Posts: 184 Re:Metallic clank 4 Years, 1 Month ago   Sorry, Big Bear..Where the pic of your new ride?

My Virago 1100 made the same noise. Figured it had something to do with the front forks.   Logged     RED RYDER   The administrator has disabled public write access.
