Compressed air didn't work, not enough volume. Leaf blower worked, but was really loud, so I couldn't hear anything else... but I don't think it's the fan; the blades just aren't close enough to anything to rub, and it doesn't seem to have any movement in the axis to move closer to anything to rub against.

After reading your complaint about your bike noise I was thinking that maybe one of the calipers is slow to release and a brake pad could be dragging beacause its not going back to the neutral position. Just a guess hope you find it.

Wheel weights coming off won't create a scraping noise. Same for rear wheel not tracking straight as the brake caliper/mount moves with the rear wheel. On the 1500/1600 there is no tracking misadjustment of the rear wheel because it is all fixed by the rear drive hub, nothing to get out of adjustment.
A failed rear wheel/hub bearing? Yes that could cause noise. Jack up the bike with the rear wheel off the surface and spin it to feel/hear anything. Possibly even start the bike and put it in gear, use the clutch to apply/disengage power to the rear wheel and listen for any noise that responds to that action. Brake pads worn to the point of worn through the pad material would cause a scraping noise. Again, tires off the surface a spun could pinpoint the noise source.

Okay, life happened and this became low priority... finally got back to it.

This was my logic as well. Soooo... I got the bike back up on blocks; ran it through the gears, let it coast, etc, no strange noises. Tried to spin the front wheel as fast as I could, but like before, just couldn't get enough RPM to get above what would be 20mph. I decided it almost had to be the front brakes though, and since I had already pulled the pads previously for visual inspection, I decided to bleed the brakes. Maybe a caliper was sticking or something... this would not explain the consistent 20mph on/off behavior, but I had nothing left. The brake fluid was pretty dark on one side though, so it needs to be changed anyway. Got it back down, took it for a ride... no more noise! I guess it was just a sticking caliper; still not sure how the 20mph phenomenon worked, but it's fixed.
