      - On the GL models with a chrome front fender, I've found that the rivets can get a wee bit loose and cause all sorts of odd unseemly clanks. You'll have to remove the fender and give the rivets a couple of hard bangs with a large hammer to expand them slightly and stop the rattle. Figuring out how to support the other side of the rivets and keep from damaging the finish on the rivet is a tricky exercise in fixturing... IIRC, I used a piece of something softer like copper or aluminum as a shield between the hammer and the chromed rivet.
      Thank you! You may have just solved a noise that's been bothering me since day one!
