I have had this front end noise coming and going for a while now. I have finally pinpointed the sound and its origins. It seems to me that the front outside pad is loose and after braking it losens up and rattles. How do i stop this? I bought new vibration clips from JP cycles thinking that was the problem but the shap is different. They swear they are the correct ones. What gives? caliper is good, pads are new, everything has been serviced frequently. I cannot for the life of me get this rattle to stop.

Please someone give me a thought on how to combat this sound that makes me feel like my forks are going to pop off at high speeds!!!!!

 

Check the pins that hold the pads in place

 

Sounds like your calipers are not "self adjusting" themselves. Also try bleeding your brakes.

 

You may have to replace pads, they do come loose from the backing sometimes.

 

Year and model?
