Also, I would like to eliminate any extra noises that I can. I think the chain guard is really vibratey. I see that coating the floor with Bedliner can be helpful.

Chain slack should be between 3/8-5/8" when properly adjusted. Any tighter and you put strain on the internal bearings, any more slack and the chain might skip a tooth on acceleration. I would definitely look into a better adjuster, and possibly beefing up the bracket on the swing arm as well.
As for the noises, try taking pieces off and see what is making noise, I think mine made the same noise before I tore it down, but I wasn't concerned with it as I was doing an engine swap.
P.S. look into better seat belts as well, the originals were a joke and you don't want to gamble with that area, 5 point harnesses are preferred, and the Yerf's already have the correct openings for them in the bottom.
