Oberon Adjustable Lever Question for Dyna
I just installed Oberon adjustable levers on my 2015 FXDB and noticed that the fitment on the levers are much looser than stock (i.e. vertical play). The clutch lever is a few mm shorter in height than the anchor pin so when you install the anchor pin it sticks out on both ends. On the stock clutch lever the anchor pin sits flush.
These levers were not cheap so I'm a little disappointed but hey, they do work and the overall quality is impressive. Not really a safety issue, more of just an annoyance for my OCD haha.
Curious if anyone else has installed Oberons on their Dyna with the same issue?

I use them, and I'm super happy with them! Is it possible you're missing a bushing/clip/spacer somewhere? The fitment is very good on my bike. I'm at work, but will look for a picture later...
For me, they're very comfortable, the adjustability is nice, and they have a sport-oriented look that matches my bike nicely. They're also really nicely made.

After reading your comment I just realized that I'm missing the anti-rattle spring on both sides. Thank you for catching that, that will likely solve the issue.

Thanks again and nice bike BTW. I have the same Biltwell grips on mine and it's an awesome combo with the levers.

Haha! I posted that picture awhile ago when I first got them, but I think you're the first one who commented on it! Honestly, it was a lucky coincidence... I didn't notice until I was looking at the pictures, deciding which one to post. This was the one where Evel was most centered!

Just wanted to provide an update as a courtesy to Oberon and anyone thinking of ordering their levers.
I installed the clutch side anti-rattle spring and replaced both pivot pin bushings and the play is now practically gone. I did get a reply from Clarendon acknowledging that the levers are a tad shorter than stock so make sure your bushings and anti rattle spring are in good condition and youll be good to go.
