My 07 WG has the same thing. Service manager calls it the" wide glide clunk". They adjusted the steering head bearings and it all but went away. Only does it once in awile. He said to put a few more miles on it then bring it in for another adjustment. When I hit 5000 I'll do it myself. Hope this helps!

You might want to check around this site. There was a post from someone who had that problem that said it turned out to be his kickstand.
