Rear end rattle

Quote from SoCal

Anyone else notice that when going over some bumps in the road there is a rear end rattle? Just guessing but is it / could it be the parking
break spring or the plastic belt cover? I have put some rubber washers in-between the three mountain bolts on the belt cover but to no avail.
Just wondering if putting a rubber ( whatever ) in-between the spring or the springs themselves might prevent this. Thoughts??

I've got so many comebacks but I'll leave it up to @Tripod

I've got noises coming from my rear end but usually after ice cream. Seriously though I took mine into Polaris and they try to blame anything aftermarket but when they ran out of excuse they decided that it was the wheel bearings.

could be so many things - so tough to even give a worthwhile guess without hearing it ourselves .... got any video?

loose shock mount? I have a rattle on the pass side. Sounds like seatbelt mount between the seats. Always been there.

Turn the radio up or go faster, the noise will disappear.

Here in Texas, concrete is commonly used on our roads. When I cross the joints between concrete road sections (especially when there is a slight rise at the joint), my swingarm produces a rattle. Both my motorcycles and my Slingshot made/make this noise.

Mine sound comes from play in the aftermarket shock mount.

Yep, coil overs are famous for odd rattles, doinks, thumps, and gongs.

Agreed. Especially the stock pogo sticks. Many/most of my bump-produced rattles disappeared when I bolted on the JRi GT shocks.

I can barely hear it...I guess it's only a baby rattle
Seriously, it'll be hard to find with weight on the rear, suggest you jack it up and start shaking shock, swingarm, etc to see if anything loose.
