Or grab the windscreen.Next time you are riding, put your hand on the black plastic peice that is over the instrument cluster and see if it goes away.
In my case, it's the windscreen:banghead: One day, I shook it so hard I almost broke it while in flight! I still did not find a way to kill the noise. Stupid plastic screws... After the winter storage, I will try various options to solve this.Or grab the windscreen.
Get some adhesive backed velcro and put the fuzzy side on the inside of the windscreen where it contacts the fairing. That dampens the buzzing a bit if it's the windscreen. I did this on mine. It's not 100% but it has dampened it a lot. Whatever you do don't replace the stock plastic screws with metal. They're a safety feature. They'll break off in a crash before the windscreen will break and allow it to come off in one piece. If you put metal screws in, the windscreen is more likely to shatter into a bunch of super sharp blade shaped shrapnel that can do a lot of damage to a rider in a crash.
I was pretty dumbfounded when I realized the windscreen screws were plastic so I looked on ebay and found some aluminum spike bolts that fit perfectly, now I have no problem with vibration with the windscreen. They really work well. I think it is a 5mm thread if I remember correctly, but please don't quote me on that. Anyways you shoould maybe look into that, I only paid 4.99 for a pack of 6 and I bought 3 packs and put the spike bolts on the upper three bolts on the fairing. They look and work really well.In my case, it's the windscreen:banghead: One day, I shook it so hard I almost broke it while in flight! I still did not find a way to kill the noise.

Yep! Always better topless... lolminor update:
Windshield is now off (and drying with its second coat out of three). took the bike sans-windshield out to lunch and no buzzing at all! definitely have to put screen back on as even going 45-50ish it was windy as all get out, but i have a decent idea of what to do to make buzzing go away. I have (for reasons ive forgotten) a roll of neoprene rubber, going to cut three inch long by 1/2 inch wide strips and put them in between the bolts and washers (the neoprene is thicker than the washers by just a hair). well see what that does when i get to it, too cold to go work for long periods of time right now!
