Default Front Suspension noise

I have a 2005 15th aniversary Fatboy. When ever I hit a bump I keep hearing a clunking noise, have any ideas as to what could be causing it?

Use the fall away method for bearing preload that is explained in the manual. it sounds like the bearings in the steering head are out of adjustment. Very common for this to happen with miles.
