Ok, so I've found the cause of the clunk in my front end when I brake. There is this thin aluminum piece of metal under the bearing nut that...even with the nut tight as all hell...lets the whole thing slide around a bit. This aluminum piece just has some tabs on it and (as far as i know) is only used to clip wiring harnesses and Deutch connectors to.
Here's the aluminum piece I removed.
And here's the bearing nut I removed it from underneath. Then put the nut back on and tightened it. NO MORE NOISE!!!
I hope this helps someone (or many people) fix that damn noise!

All three of my harleys have the same thud, noise, when the bump is agressive
enough. I always assumed head bearing, we know assumed!!!!
My 93, FXSTC, 97 FLHRI and 08 FLHRC same noise, just one of many..
If I had a radio I would have turned it up.......LOL............Tenn.Vol.
