RE: clunk when hitting bumps or during hard front braking?
Got same problem with forks on my night train, picked it up from deallers on saturday rode it home noticed the clunk, which felt like the steering head bearings were loose, so gave the dealler a call they said no probs just bring it straight back and we will tighten them up for you, excellant I thought great service, took bike back mechanic checked out headstock bearings etc, the outcome is I am geeting a new set of forks under warranty, according to my dealer some forks have some kinda problem that when braking heavily etc. you experience a clunk similar to loose steering head bearings. I will let you know the outcome once new forks are fitted.

I have the same problem in my 07' Low Rider. I even brought it back to the dealer complainign about it when I got my service done but they all looked at me like I was an idiot of something. They fixed the rubber on the kickstand only.. (AD Farrow in Sunbury, OH). I can feel the clunk through my foot pegs (mid-controls) as if somethign was hitting the frame when I hit bumps are hard braking. Is this what everyone else is getting? I can also feel something with my steering when I hit bumps, sort of like the wheel bearing have gone bad and is vibrating a little. Not sure what that is, can feel it thru my handle bars.
THis sound like what everyone else is getting?

There is a thread all about this problem. A new washer from HD and a star nut adjustment fixed my clunk. I am 100% sure you can solve it by doing the same thing.
Here is the link......read the entire thread......go get the kit.....and fix it yourself, the clunk will be gone.
