I have a 2002 Deuce, clump, or loud bang when I shift my Harley?

If you have this sound when you are riding, check your rear pulley. Make sure it is not coming loose. Also, inspect your wheel bearings.

question: I have a 2011 Road King Classic. after market exhaust and air intake. It was truned with the HD Screamin Eagle Pro turner. Can I install the Cobra FI2000 Power Pro on my bike. Or does the bike have to have the Screamin Eagle map removed?????
In regard to the person who has a loud bang when shifting the 2002 deuce. I have heard many people say that when they ride their HD for the first few times until them get used to the loud clunk of the transmission dropping into the next gear. I realize most people never give enough details and there is no way to carry on a conversation with each question, but sometimes the description of the problem leads people to believe the problem is worse than it may be. Sometimes the best things is for them to have a friend ride the bike and compare it to theirs in regard to shifting and sounds it makes.
also check your primary chain adjuster, it may have adjusted itself too far forward and is putting tension on your tranny main-shaft. get rid of it and put one on from Hayden Enterprises (JP Cycles carries them)
