Can be a Crash

Last night while I was riding and almost complete stop on traffic light I heard something felt off my bike and I felt a bit shakey on my rear tire
I thought I blew my rear then I checked once I stopped and my tire was ok
The car behind me told me that my housing of FE kit was felt off
Once I pulled over I found whole housing hang inn hitting my rear hump
I felt so lucky it ll happend when I m almost complete stop insteed of high speed in freeway it might trip to my rear and can cause me crash...
I m still wonder why those could happen and would it be of vibration of muffler since the mounting of FE kit is right underneeth of it....
I m gonna put some loctite of the screw when I fix it tonight and I m hoping this wont happen to any rider since is quite dangerous...
We never check those little tiny thing but those could cause crash...
Check out those screw and tide it up if you read this threat, is worth your time to fix it then sorry....
