Has anyone experienced a strage/loud rattle from their front headset or front fender or SOMETHING UP IN THE FRONT at around 25 mph?

I've removed the windshield and that didn't help. I'll try to remove my ENTIRE glovebox contents to see if the issue is in there.

But are there prone rattles or bolts to come lose up in the front that I should be looking for?

There's the mudguard over the front suspension components- I think it's held on by a couple tabs and screws. Perhaps it's vibrated loose.

This sounds all too familiar...we had a GTS250 that would emit a "buzzing" sound at a certain point upon accelerating...a bunch of us looked into the engine compartment...opened up the variator....then we finally found a small screw that had gotten wedged in cavity near the fuel pump. At idle...nothing...when accelerating the vibration would cause it to resonate.

Recommendation: Check out for a loose fitting or a part.
