Default Lowering Rear ?

I lowered my 13 GS rear yesterday on the stock bolts ! Now I have a rattle on the right rear when I hit a bump ! Is there anything I should check for first ? Thanks for your replies !

A common source of suspension rattles are the sway bar end links. Make sure they are properly tight.

Exhaust pipe clearance to frame may be changed causing your problem.
