[b]OH MY![/b]

You will not believe this.

After reinstalling my new springs / servicing my forks, and then reservicing the forks because i heard this stupid noise, this is what i found:

well, first I put the front tire against a wall with NO CALIPER and bounced the forks  - result = NO NOISE.  Then i decided it must be the brake caliper, so i mounted the caliper, put the front tire against the wall and DID NOT sqeeze the lever and bounced the forks - result = NO NOISE.  Then i sqeezed the lever with tire against wall and bounced - result = NO NOISE.
Lastly, i backed the bike up, sqeezed the lever and bouced - result = NOISE, NOISE!

Finally I noticed that if I squuezed REALLY HARD (like I had not done before)on the lever and bounced the forks, NO NOISE.

Conclusion, I could actually see my rotor moving very slightly when the noise was being made!  It was simply my brake rotor slipping a bit and it ceased when I squeezed the lever harder!  I just never expected that a rotor slipping could sound like that, I always thought it would just sqeek or grind.

Thanks for all the help on helping me realize that I am again an idiot!
