Does the knocking happen if you go on and off the throttle in quick sucession? This would help identify if it is the brakes or just something knocking through movement.

I had a similar thing on the driver's side of my FL and turned out to be the door check strap was loose. Simple and cheap to fix.

Cheers

the knocking noise only happens when you brake and some time happens louder when you totaly stop. it sounds like a metal noise.....

thanks anyway

The check strap is a metal noise - It's metal on metal with no gasket.
