Hi!  
This is dunk, back from a road trip this weekend.  This really isn't a new topic, but I couldn't find the previous notes.  Anyway . . .  
I took some great advice from a couple of you.  
I removed the gas tank and found the three screws holding the speedometer onto the tank.  Only 1 was loose, but I tightened it and the noise was greatly reduced.  
Thanks, guys!  You said it was simple, so I decided to try it myself.  
My husband said, "Go for it!", so I did.  
With a couple calls   to one of the mechanics at the only bike ship we'll ever deal with (because they're GREAT!) I did it!    
Thanks again for great advice.

PS It doesn't just slide off.  You have to wrestle it off!
