So I have a clunk in my front end and have tried to adjust my steering head bearing but I am not sure if I am doing it right. I lifted the front end of my lightning up using rachet straps unbolted the handle bars and loosened and tightened the bolt under the handle bars. I still have the same clunk. If anyone could walk me through the process I would be very thankful.

I don't recal but the manual walks you through it step by step by model & year. It's invaluable.

if there loose and clunking it is time to replace them.
The factory uses a seal ball and tightening really doesn't help

That appears to be correct. It says what models/years it fits on that page.
If you need any help let me know as I did it about a year ago, it's not very hard. You don't need the special tools the manual calls out but you just need to keep the old bearings(to hammer the new ones in) and need a long screwdriver(to hammer the old ones out). This saves you from needing the puller and install tool.
