Replace the hinge with a Quietline hinge. It is more expensive but will last much longer. At the back end of the hood where it rests on the steering column tower, the adjustable plate behind the gas tank needs to have a rubber strip across the two upper tabs and one strip on each side. This will eliminate the vibration noise and keep the hood from rubbing on the fiberglass cowl which is often warn through on the 1X8/9 models.  Also some 1/8" think rubber or neoprene pads glued on the front grill between it and front nose piece will help a lot as well.
