Thank you. I think I can add a thicker o-ring and take more of the slop out. I was going to return it and apply the money to the OEM kit but it's on back order until May... May just keep it and get the OEM when available and sell my aftermarket kit.

Fortunately for me I travel 2 states for work, I always stop by the Harley dealers I pass by. The whole Harley backorder thing is crazy, had a friend last year that had the Rockford Fosgate audio system on order for 6 months from his dealer for a Low Rider ST. I was at the beach and stopped in at the dealer there and asked them if they heard anything about the audio system backorder and she said she just received 2 at her 2 dealerships. I bought one and contacted my buddy who was still waiting on his backorder and he was not too happy, still took him a few weeks to get his... Seems like they would fill purchased orders by customers before they fill dealer inventory. Guess they treat the dealers as if they were / are their customers as well.

The part# for the nylon washer is 6057
I got mine on ebay, which made the shifter lever fit like it should, one O-ring on the inner side of the bracket, and the other went between the nylon washer and bracket. The fittment between the knock-off kit shaft compared to the oem shaft could be due to copyright issues. In fact the foot peg clevis pin on the left bracket was too small for hole in the bracket, but the one on the right side bracket fit ok, so i had to drill out the hole in the left foot peg and use a 3/8s bolt in order to put my peg on.

I probably bought the same cheap set on ebay. I replaced the nylon bushing on shifter shaft with brass an now it works great.
