fork area clunk
Had this on my 05 fatty,dealer said nowt wrong,but it did not do it untill i had around 300 miles on the clock...then seemed to be getting worse and sort of resonating through the fork tins...horrid sound...sort of a clunk/ker-chinnnggg.
Anyhow,i eventually found that if i rolled forward on the bike in the garage,then banged the front brake on real hard it did it also,as the forks compressed heavily.
To cut a long story short i spun off the stem top cover bolt and nipped up the large bolt a bit at a time..the sound stopped.
Went back to dealer and told them to set up the fall away correctly{ you should loosen the pinch bolts and see when the forks swing a set amount you see}
Basically with how many people seem to get this i dont think the head bearings are being seated right,then after some pounding on the roud they settle in and hey presto its all slack,bumps just hammer that slack creating the clunk/bang/twang etc depending on the model. Personally i dont think theres any fault in any of the forks,when you look at how they work i cant see what would bang.
My experience here,but other have had the same,so its worth trying again..then get your money back. regards Dave. England
