Default Sickening sound

I have a 2000 road king. Suddenly it is making a sickening bang when I hit a bump! Pressure is good and it only happens when I am going a little faster and the bump is sharp. What could this be? Please advise, thanks

Check your jiffy stand spring. If stretched, it could be bottoming out.

Default sickening sound

I will have to take it in. After reading the advise, I realize it could be the jiffy stand, it is quite loose, but I am not sure it could make a noise that loud! I have a trustworthy mechanic so I will have to pay him a visit with your suggestions in mind. Thanks boys.
