Many ways, most use a similar technique using different materials.

search and you'll find.

TAke out the speedo housing. Line the lip of where the housing sits with electrical tape. Mine was kinda squeeky because the three springs on the underside of the tank were rubbing againts the three mounting tabs. Electrical tape over them protected them from rubbing againsts the mounting tab. Squeek  and rattle all gone.

Or put a chrome visor on the speedo as such:

I put a bead of silicon around the speedo/tank joint right out in plain view.  Then just flip the tank over and WD40 those springs.  Presto Bingo, no more racket.

I used a section of bicycle innertube, cut up one side, and wrapped around the housing in the tank. Secured everything back down, no more rattle. Not even out the cost of the innertube, as I had a blown one in the garage. Total time, about 10 minutes. Need a second pair of hands to hold everything steady while you secure the speedo into the tank.

You can also get them at most truck stops that have a decent chrome section.  Bezels without the hood are also available.  Two minutes of dremel time with a grinding stone will get it to fit perfect.  You'll understand when you go to fit the speedo into the bezel.  Very easy mod.  It adds a touch of beauty to an otherwise generic looking speedo/indicator housing.

I had a little bit of rattle before.  It's gone now.  So I the answer in my case is yes.
