it doesnt rattle at all, its held under the seat by the clip and the big 'o'ring, and in the rack by the rubber strap you can see in my pic. this strap is supposed to come with the honda lock but i made my own. very simple, its just a 'T' shape about an inch thick with the long leg at an angle to suit where the bungee hook is.
