Front end noise

Before I take the bike in for an inspection, maybe someone has an idea. I'm running a F4i front end on my '03, a great setup for both road and track, however ever since I did this swap I've been experiencing a knock on hard braking (a single pop while braking, then another such knock when accelerating again). I checked the steering bearing (tapered) and it seemed snug, not keen on tightening further; I can't see anything loose on the calipers.. I'm at a loss. Any ideas appreciated.

check the LBS - front left caliper

You mean Linked Brakes? There is no such system on the F4i setup I'm running..

brake pads shifting in the caliper?  If bearings are tight, this is the only thing that comes to mind ATM.
