There are two main items under your dask. The Speedo of course which is mounted on rubber bushings and the turn signal modulator. It is mounted directly below the speedo and has one bolt in the middle of it. The relay's are mounted on a rubber tab and don't rattle, so that leave the above items. Check for worn tank mount bushings and anything else that might rattle. You also might want to remove the speedo and shake it. It might have something loose inside that is rattling as well.
Hope this helps.

Is it fuel injected? The only spring inside the tank holds the stalk supporting the fuel pickup, and gas gauge sender at 90 degrees inside the tank. It's a pretty small spring though, and I don't know if I'd be able to hear it even if it were loose.
I'd give some serious consideration to taking that thing apart to figure it out. Metal stuff rattling around in the tank could potentially block or impair fuel flow, and the last thing you need is to have your engine quit on you while leaned over, or on the highway, or while far from home, or......
There are other metal parts under the canopy:
- There's a fairly large retaining clip that holds the filter and pump against the canopy.
- At least two oetiker clamps
- Fuel filter
Any of the above could be loose, and any of the above can create problems for you.
