ST1300 head bearing

I had a new genuine Honda bearing fitted to my 2003 ST1300 about a year ago. Since then my bike has developed an annoying front end rattle. Last week I had the bike serviced and asked the mechanic to rectify the problem which he did by tightening it. After a short test ride all seemed fine and smooth but then I went for a 400 Kl run on the weekend and on the way home the rattle started to manifest itself once again. Has anyone else had this problem and can give me a solution'
when I travel over a rough section of road I hear a "CLUNK CLUNK RATTLE RATTLE RATTLE"

It sounds like the bearings weren't seat correctly the first time they were fitted, this has happened to me with a previous bike.
I had to adjust the bearing tension at least twice before they seated properly.

Agree with that. bearing races need to be installed and driven all the way in, then torqued up correctly. Adjusting it a few times should do the trick.
