Default Anti rattle clutch spring’s.

Clutch lever rattling. I am thinking maybe the aim clutch spring’s I am running might be beating on the anti rattle clip. Don’t know. My question is are the aftermarket anti rattle clips better than the stock clips. Rattles when one handing.

I can't speak for the M8's, but I had that issue on a Nightster and replacing the anti-rattle spring with a new OEM one fixed the problem.

Called my dealer and got a 12200140 part number. Every one I see on line says it won’t fit my bike and has a 45081-26 part number, the 12200140 does not come up on line. I know Harley likes to change part number’s for no reason sometimes. I guess I will try the other dealer’s and order one if no luck. I replaced one on my wide glide years back and I think it was steel. Picked it up from a little shop down the road. The plastic one in my m8 has definitely lost its arch.

I always replace that spring clip at the 5K service. Cheap and effective.
