have a good look around and check all fasteners, something sure sounds 2 b loose

check your gas tank,make sure bolts holding it down are tight.or just pick up on the front of it and see if it moves up and down. mine was loose like that and it clunked over bumps. tightened the front bolt, clunking was gone.

Do you have the plastic pieces ?  Mine started falling out so I added some silicone to keep them in place.  I am still missing one and yes it is very clunky.

it was the gas tank...thanks for the help...now what about a bigger windsield?...thinking about having someone fab a bigger one to fit my bracket

The windshield looks great, but is not high enough, so I only use it for long rides when I want to reduce fatigue from wind on my chest.  Full helmet is then necessary, as otherwise the wind is concentrated right in my eyes and bounces my glasses or goggles.  I think a new piece of  lexan 18 inches instead of 16.5 may be the answer.  And yes the plastic pieces fall out, so I re-glued them.  Then the bracket snapped, so the dealer replaced it.

We just finished a 5000 mile ride to Colorado and had a great time.  I'm really pleased with how my new bike handles.

also got a three quarter helmet with face shield...it looks silly but really helps with the buffetting

That's good to know, Skyhook.  My wife got a 3/4 helmet with face shield and loves it. There are several very cool ones with retractable face shields on the market -- Nolan and Scorpion in particular.

thanks...I'm liking this bike more and more...in stock form it is the quickest big twin ever, and with a few mods, will smoke any cruiser on the market!...I have 9k miles after 1 year...no oil leaks...pulls like a madman and handles like a dream
