916 head

I have an exup streetfighter that has a 916 front end grafted on to it. I have only had it a couple of days and have noticed it sort of clunks when i brake, and was wondering if anyone can tell me how to tighten the headstock bearings as i can't seem to see any kind of nut under the top yoke?
It's probably something very simple and i am just being a bit of a duh, but it is the first time have had any dealings with anything Ducati. Any help would be much welcome.

The bit coming through the top yoke with all the holes in it is the bit that you tighten to remove slack/play in the head races. You will need to undo thhe pinch bolt in the top yoke first

I hadn't thought of that, your'e a star. As soon as it is delivered to me i will give it a go. Had to get the bike recovered last night cos i hurt my back but it should be back with me today. Once again thanks.
