When I brake hard and run over a bump I get a horrible shudder in the front end that progressively gets worse until I stop of let off. I've been fighting this for over a year. I have tried cleaning the brakes, including the rotor buttons, and increasing the rebound and compression damping. I have only recently started messing with the forks and I only increased the damping by 1 click on both rebound and compression.
I need some help. Any ideas?

I think you need to properly bed in your brakes.

Have you looked at your steering head bearings?

Is your front suspension bottoming?
I don't believe that the suspension is bottoming out.
I'm going to check the head bearings, they might be loose.
