748 creaking

A friends 748 has presented us with a creaking noise on the front end. It will be identified as soon as is practically possible. But for the time being, does anybody think they know what the cause of the noise is? Anybody had a similar issue?

Once we finally identify the culprit, we will answer it here as well as on the ducatisti forum

Forks havent recently been stripped. It as been suggestedit ay be the bushings that are allowing the noise. Others have had a similar issue and seem to live with it, while yet more cure themselves. Forks will be stripped and serviced at some point this year. If the fault shows itself we will add the info here along with links to pictures of any visible defect.
