So i've posted this up on a few other forums and decided to try and get some help here.
My bike does fine on the highway, it does fine going fast, or slow, and it does fine doing U turns, either way. The problem is when riding aggressive and taking right hand turns. I can ride as aggressive as I want going left, but in the right hand turns, it makes a rubbing/grinding noise. It does not slow the bike down, or pulsate the brake lever or take the bike off of it's line. What it does is give me a mental block

I don't remember exactly when it started doing it. I don't knwo if it was somethig I didn't pay attention to before, so I can't say exactly when it started........What it sounds like is ceramic on metal, like the brake pad coming in contact with the rotor. I have replaced the brake pads and it still did it. no marks on the pads, rotors, or the calipers indicating anything was out of normal. I have 2 different fenders, A factory OEM black, and a OEM Carbon from the 05 600/750 25th anniversary special edition and I have tried no fender at all. It still does it. I bought the bike brand new and it has never been down. The bike has 23K miles on it now. I have 300mm wave rotors (factory is 300mm also) on it maye 500 miles new. I thought it might be the SS lines rubbing the fork tube, or the upper firing bracket, but I wrapped them in rubber line and it still does it. When the bike is on stands, the front wheel spins plenty free. The last time It was on a front stand, I gave it a good spin,and it made 7-9 full spins.
I haven't rode the bike since I have done 3 things, so that might have fixed it. I bought Brand new calipers for it and took the bike back down to Traxxion Dynamics in Atlanta GA and had them service/re-build the forks.They also installed new steering head bearings. I talked with them and they didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
Thanks for all the help so far, i've talked with I don't know how many different forum members from various forums. I'm baffled and don't know what to look at.....it's depressing, it makes me not even want to ride it. I did get a suggestion yesterday, to check the front axle to check for warping. I don't know if it would be the wheel bearings????? I bought the Marchesini's brand new a year ago.
