    Replace the 'O' ring rubbers that hold the exhuast up nice n tight. Thats all I did for my 2 VN's. They only last a lear or so.

    mines started rattling too, i figured out what it is, it's the tip rattling against the side of the skirt at the back. seems that it's been knocked underneath and pushed it or bent it, but the orings are still there and seem in good knick.

    it only knocks when it's under load or at low revs.

    sounds (or in this case rattles) like your missing or have a broken exhaust mount. check all the rubber mounts on the exhaust.

    Check the rubbers on the front muffler too, if the front moves around the rear will rattle.

    Ruby's exhaust rattles when I accelerate a little harder than normal. But thats because ages ago, I was reversing out of a friends driveway, and didn't realise the angle of the road to the driveway and it hit a broke something.

    I've jacked her up and looked under her, and it's not broken too badly. I can't see that I've snapped any brackets or anything.
