I took my Savage out today, and almost immediately started hearing na rattle from something up front. I was intending to pull my windshield off for summer anyway, so I removed it , hoping to remove the rattle with it, but it still rattled, and I traced it to the headlight. I removed it from the housing, and tighten everything up good,but it still has a little rattle . Have any of you had this issue? If so how did you fix it?  Thanks

I'm going to have to check mine too! I just noticed the same rattle on my bike last night. I thought it was the metal sheathing around the front brake cable rattling against something...then I (also) thought it might be the headlight housing...better check that steering head nut.

Headlight rattles can be annoying and misleading - especially with a full coverage helmet as it funnels the sound to your ears and masks the direction the noise is coming from.

I was riding and when I would stop I could hear a horrible racket and I started to believe my cam/rockers were coming apart.

I reached up and started to put my hands on things to see if I could determine where the noise was coming from.....when I put my hands on the headlight bezel the noise went away.

I cured the problem similar to what you did....a tiny sliver of mounting tape and I left the plastic on one side as I didn't want it to function for mounting - just as a cushion.  It has worked for the last 10,000 miles.

The speedometer can also rattle, and there is a fix posted in the Technical Section.
