Why does my bike...

When my steering head bearings got loose it felt like a warped rotor when I'd hit the brakes hard.

I vote head bearings too...unless you swapped them during the front end replacement. If you have a way of lifting the front end without loading it, check the steering for smooth operation and play. If it's not that check the forks... my internals fell apart at the Gap due to incompetent service work. Triple check your damping settings and make sure they are equal. Also, are you sure that the forks have the same weight oil? With the cooler temps...
