Default Tapping noise

Hello there,
My curvy has a strange tapping, it sounds to be coming from the front head, and only does it when warm, its loud enough that it can be heard from a yard or 2 away.

Any ideas?

Chris

suspected this, but have had them both out and they dont look obviously damaged.
Also why would this noise not be evident when cold?*

*(Edit: unless its just got louder on this last ride, will listen again when its cooled down)
