Something vibrates at high speed

When I run My XT660X at quite high speed or when accelerate i can hear that something is vibrating in the front of the bike somewhere.. I have felt on the steering and parts around the steering but can't feel anything that is loose... Do you guys know if there are any common parts that will produce this sound? I can live with it, but If I can I want to get rid of the noise

Thanks in advance!

Have to test that, but I don't think that is my problem.. But it really sounds that it is from the fuel cap.. In that area somewhere..

yep same once u give it some hard revs it just chirps away from what feels like behind the bars ? couldn't find it for ages then the other day bang lol its so simple what i haven't don't is tapped the flap down yet to find out if its the flap or the actual cap. it stops when i hold the cap but that could just be cushioning the vibration to the flap lol i tried some sticky back foam the other day which made it worse so im thinking along the lines of a small bit of heavy duty velcro
