Developed a front end rattle which is most noticed at low speed on uneven roads.Applying brake makes no difference. Could it be a loose fan?
Appreciate comments before I start removing bits.
thanks from across the pond.

Well, you can take a rubber mallet and start tapping the different areas to find what is loose and making noise. I'm not suggesting hitting sheet metal or plastic parts but there are lots of areas that when jolted will reveal possible noise makers.

If it is a standard or tourer check to see if the chrome radiator (side) covers are loose.  There is a button head bolt under the reflectors that hold them in place.
