Does the brake lever have side to side play by design? Does this cause rattling?

 

It dose have a small amount of play, No rattling on my Fat Bob with FLD foot boards.

 

Okay mine has about 1/8" didn't seem right. Forward controls I removed have almost zero movement.

 

This is what mines like


Normal?

 

Matt that is about what mine is like but haven't noticed any issues. U could probably get a spring washer in there that might take some play out.

 

In the vid, do you have the linkage hooked up? Mine has some slop but I have to grab the pedal and linkage to move it maybe 3/16". Yours seems to move a little more freely. I have no rattle at idle or cruise speed.

 

Yeah the linkage is hooked up. The pedal and linkage move together in the video. I've heard back from some FLD owners on another forum that theirs is the same from the factory. I think it's just a design thing.

 

Would you be able to put a rubber or nylon washer in to get rid of the side to side play that is in the video?
