I get a clunking noise in the front when going slow on a bumpy back road.  I think its comes from the front brake calipers. They are bolted on tight but I still  and I can move them by hand, and the noise seems to stop if I apply the brake lightly.  The  calipers move on pins and dont fit tight like on a car. Do
pins ware out and need replacing after 100k .  Also the radiator has always has been loose and seems to be missing a bolt at the top.

The Valkyrie uses floating front brake calipers. The"clunk"while stopping is normal. Not sure about your radiator. RIDE SAFE.

There should be one bolt at the top center of the radiator. If missing your radiator can tilt forward at the top allowing the turn signals to hit the radiator on full turn.
