Anybody else have any problems with exhaust rattling? The spot welds on the baffling inside mine broke in a few places and caused a VERY irritating rattle noise at various speeds. If I put my foot on the exhaust shield it stops. I have the baffle out of the pipe and I'm going to wrap it in steel wool (trick my muffler shop told me) and re-weld it in with JB Weld. I'll report the results.
After reinstalling the baffling and wrapping it with several layers of steel wool I am still getting a rattle. It actually sounds like it is coming from the smaller diameter section around where the heat sheild is. It goes away when I press on the heat shield. It is NOT the heat shield though because I took it off and it still rattles. I'm leaning towards the catalytic rattling against the pipe. Anyone think you could get that out without grinding the exhaust apart?
Babyswiss,
I also think that the rattle is coming from the catalytic converter. Mine has that rattle. I have thought about cutting the pipe to get to it but would like to get a new exhaust before sawing it apart. I need to call and find out what a new exhaust would cost.
[QUOTE=barnone;33630]My glossy black DF appears to have clear coat over the tape on the tank and fenders. I tried starting to pull off the tape with my fingernails but I can't get it started. What am I doing wrong?
hey barnone, my stripes are clear coated over too, no way they're coming off without a ruining the paint.
I see the DF importer is running a sale on the Bobber and other models. I would not be surprized to see them sell retail for under $2K.

The rear sprocket change seems to be the only required mod since the new DF's appear to be coming with 105 main jets.
