Alan,
When I take my fender off the front the noise stops. One guy here mentioned
it may be a crack in the sheet metal. I never would have thought of that.

<<<<Now I have a clunking sound.>>>

Once upon a time (about 12 years back) my then new to me 69 Ambo developed
a
 clunking sound in the front end. After much deliberation I pulled the
forks
 off and found that the left fork rattled when shaken. With GREAT
difficulty
 I pulled apart the fork to find that the "follower" had unscrewed from the
bottom of the damping rod and was bouncing around in the bottom of the
fork!
 I have been told this is very unusual. Hope your solution is easier.
