Can you clutchless shift a Harley?
Of course you can. The fact that the trans is hyraulic has no bearing on whether you can shift clutchless or not, rather the type of trans. If it’s a synchronized trans, you can shift sans clutch.
Can you float gears on a Harley?
Yes, you can do it both ways. Going down it’s a bit rough because unlike a stick you can’t float into neutral, adjust the RPM, then float into the lower gear. Going up it’s perfectly smooth.

Why does my motorcycle make a clunking noise when I Shift?
On a wet clutch this doesn’t work, as the viscosity of the oil keeps the primary axle spinning. IIRC, there is a cush drive in the rear wheel hub. If so, that could be worn out. If the rubber dampers in the cush drive are worn out, you can get a clunky first gear engagement.
