bone crusher mine was like that for awhile as well,, it eventually got so loose that it started to rattle, give it some time,, I hope not--However I did manage to take the exhaust off and drill the rivets out and picked up some small bolts like patches did and managed to bolt the shield on,, I only did the little one cause thats the only one that rattled, the larger shield seems to be good thus far, so I am like you why bother to fix it if it ain't broke so I'm holding off on that one but if it act's up I'm gonna do the same thing.. Fly its kind of a Pain in the butt to do but I will show you in Chicago what I did.. Tight spot to get into on the bottom potion of the bracket for sure but manageable... Maybe patches will get some pic's taken..
