Rear part of the heat shield below gas tank fell down on exhaust pipe causing a rattle between gas tank and pipe. The part that holds up the rear of the heat shield is plastic clip with a metal nut inside that attaches to the gas tank strap and when it fell off the metal nut was rusted and still attached to the shield where as the front part of the shield has metal tabs the are used to attach the shield to.
