Thank you Jeff for helping me recognize that unfamiliar noise coming from my Super Valk. That dang Buzz Bolt sure was the issue and now it's Fixed.  :smitten:

Please explain?

There's a long bolt that connects the two sides of the front of the frame together. The bolt goes through a tube. The bolt is near the upper crash bar mount. If that bolt gets a bit loose it buzzes inside that tube. Usually around 55 mph

I had it.

I think it's the spacer tube that vibrates and not the bolt.

It's trickier to crank down on with the IS pods on there.  

It's not where his finger is pointing.  You crank down on the nut right under his first knuckle (like it was a lug nut).  And you usually don't even have to put a wrench on the other side either.  I think I actually had to pull the frame members closer together to trap the spacer tube between them to get it to stop buzzing.
