Thanks

- June 19, 2010, 00:47:36 AMI am the proud owner of a 2001 Drifter, however I am getting a noise (rattle) sound from the front of the bike? I have adjusted the windshield to make sure it is NOT touching any brackets. It sounds like the headlight has ball bearings in it but only when I go over a bump or a vibration at low speed...strange?? Anyone else had this problem??
Thanks
