Default 06 dyna Front end rattle under braking

I had the bike in to the shop for engine tuning, new motor mounts and to have the "clunk fix" washer installed to stop the "clunk"...&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
well, the clunk is gone.. but the rattle remains.....
&nbsp\\;
When I hit the clutch and apply the font brakes, the front end will rattle once the forks compress as the engine winds down..
&nbsp\\;
Checked front rotor... it seems to be fine, no slop...
&nbsp\\;
checked tank bolts...&nbsp\\; they are tight...
&nbsp\\;
what else to check????
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;

My 07 has the same rattle when braking.&nbsp\\; Hope someone knows what's happening.

Pretty common. My '97 and my '06 did the same thing. You need to tighten up the head bearing just a tad. You need to remove the top triple tree to get to it. Usually about 1/16-1/8 of a turn is enough.
