I ride an 09 Ultra Classic with ABS.

Today while backing my bike out of a parking space I heard a loud clunk from the front brake. Sounded like it was releasing. I've had this same noise when starting to drive foward, but not all the time. Everything seems to be normal and the brake works fine.

Any idea about what might cause this?

Check your wheel bearings, look to see if there is grease coming out. I had some clunks and things coming out of my front end that went away after the wheel bearing were replaced due to failure.

Its the brake pads sliding back and forth in the caliper. Roll your bike forward and tap the front brakes. Now roll it backwards and tap the front brake. That noise?

 

Mine does the same thing after backing out of my garage (Clunk )
