update the clunk was the tank bolts, also rear pads were shot. replaced those along with all fluids. checked rotor bolts belt pulley bolts belt tension primary chain tension fork bearings and any other bolts i could find. still getting grinding when hitting a bump or rear brakes when in gear with clutch out. and now during a long ride sunday doing it with clutch in and applying rear brakes.

The other thing you may want to check is the wheel bearings.
