No More Clunk
I rode my bike again today and when I put it in gear there is absolutely no noise at all on engagement, I thought OH CRAP something broke, but it was in gear and I noticed this every time I put it in gear today, no noise at all and I also noticed that all the gear changes are much quieter than they used to be.
I adding the OreganHotBike chain adjuster and Dextron to the primary, I don't know which of these did the trick or if it's a combination of the two but it has eliminated the clunk.

A Harley without the clunk? Who are these
people anyway. I have not met one Harley rider who complained about the trans clunk. Not one.
Me, I love my clunking Harley-Davidson that doesn't sound like a freakin' Honda!
a problem people have been bitching about for years

Count me in that group, nothing against OP, but I love the clunk! I've had a lot of quiet shifters in my days and like hearing that mechanical mesh.

I heard that when they test fire these things up at the factory and they don't clunk....Then they go back around to add the clunk in it.
And if your bike ever stops clunking, HD has a special oil so you can add the clunk back to in there.
