Yes you're having better luck than me. I just passed 1600 miles on this bike. I have to tighten the mirrors pretty often. I have one rear signal light that dances all over the place (my sister tells me that when following me it is pretty distracting at night as it gives a blurred effect to that side....but does make me more noticeable).
After months of trying to figure out why it vibrates like it does but the other side doesn't I asked the dealer to look at it when I had the bike in for something else. They could find no reason for it to do that. So we concluded the plastic on that side of the mud flap(fender) it is mounted to must be weaker than the other side. Can't find any hair line cracks and it has nothing to do with the stem being loose...it is tight. Just a bad piece of "rubberized plastic".
I also had to take a hammer to the underside of the seat the first day I brought it home because some of the staples were only half flushed and the covering was already beginning to rip. I tapped them in the rest of the way.
Flaws in the paint job. (I've seen that on several GeeZees.)
It's just little things like that that makes me think...."boy everyone on the assembly line must have had a hangover that day."
It's still a joy to ride compared to my larger bikes and as I said in another thread it does put a smile back on my face and reminds why I started riding years ago to begin with.
