Went to Formula+ in the primary and It quieted down the primary noise. Had all the bearings in my transmission replaced by HD because of a rattle in neutral ( not the accepted neutral rattle). All has been good for thei last 5k. Changed to Redline Shock proof in transmission. The only change I have noticed is that I can now easily see the transmission fluid on the dip stick. Still clunks going into first like all HDs do.

Mine doesn't clunk much, if any, going into neutral or any other shift (so "all" of them don't do it). That's because I ditched the auto adjuster and installed a Baker Attitude Adjuster. The loud first gear clunk instantly disappeared. The reason for the clunk is that the auto-tensioner runs the chain so tight that the clutch bearings are bound up and trying to drive the tranny even with the clutch disengaged.
Did you have to pull the compensator?

Redline tranny and primary lubes in both, along with manually-adjusted chain tensioners in both (now).
