For over a year I have been befuddled by a rattle coming from the right side, and foward. Kind of a metalic rattle, just loud enough to hear at different speeds. The rattle is more obvious while accelerating and while riding over uneven surfaces.
Several times after a ride, I've lightly tapped with a rubber mallet on this and that trying to locate the noise. I checked all fasteners, pulled and pushed here and there... and nada. Tried blowing with leaf blower and compressor from the front at all angles to see of I could make something rattle. Everything seemed solid as a rock.
This morning I walk by the right side of the bike, and my forearm happens to bump the right side mirror...what?! I bump it again...and a distinctive rattle. I have to put my reading glasses on, but the mirror and black ring is loose and it rattles as I thump the backside of the mirror. Huh. With my fingers I can move the black ring / mirror in a circle independently of the mirror body.

If you click on volumn icon should be able to hear it.
Anyone else's do that?
