First gear ingagement
FRITZBOB:
Maybe air in line? I was starting it in gear , but feel it pulled a little and decided that wasn’t a good idea.almost 10,000 miles I’m going to change primary. Hope that helps.

Bike cold.
Pull your derby cover, bike upright, and check your oil level. It should be at the bottom of the clutch plate.
Take out the trans dip stick and check for proper level.
If you had oil transfer from the trans to the primary (common problem with your year) get that taken care of.
If everything is set, start the bike in neutral and if you have a big clunk into low you may have to try a different primary fluid. I use the stock Harley fluid that works ok when cold and shifts pretty good when hot, but I’m using Lucas gear oil in the trans.
They all clunk some worse than others.
Why can’t Harley build a transmission like my Baker? Smooth all the way!
Hope this helps.

My primary fluid seem to be overfilled when I was draining fluids but I forgot to check the trans level. I’m thinking this is my whole problem. Thanks all for your help.

Mike even with my Baker I still get a clunk from time to time. Mainly cold, but I also know clutch has always had a little drag in this bike. I had hoped swapping to the alto clutch and ATF would have solved it but didn't. Changed fluid and rebuild clutch slave earlier this year with little to no change. I have about decided to just agree with the stealers on this one and claim they all do that!
HOGMIKE:
One other thing I noticed on a friends bike (2012) his shift linkage was way sloppy. We replaced the shift levers and tightened everything up. He uses regular Walmart motor oil in all 3 holes and says his shifter still clunks, but much better than before.
Yes, they all do that to some extent. 8)
