The 'clunk': likely the forward gas tank bolt is the cause of the noise. A well known issue. The 'sleeves' of the bolt are enlarged.
It should say "dry type element do not oil" at the bottom. If not then oil it.

Looks good ...



I don't mind not having tank badges ... I've been without for about 5 years ...

Looks like your body man did a great job with the tank ...

You can do custom tank emblems. Either the 2012 Irons that are so popular, or find some vintage ones that you like to add a little flavor to the scoot. Or go naked.
