Default front end noise/handling SOFTAILS

anyone else experienced a loud 'clunk' when hitting a bump on an almost new softail?......and shitty handling at times, almost like driving on marbles.

Is this just the steering stem nut that need to be tightened or could it be the pinch bolts on the trees or ????????

thanks

Your problem is probably the steering stem nut.

Here's some info on it https://www.hdforums.com/m_90127/tm.htm
