Hey guys....
 \\;
I don't post much but I read alot.
 \\;
got a question about my 89 FXR Super Glide.
 \\;
Is there suppossed to be an anti rattle \\;clip on the rear brake caliper. I has disc brakes on front and rear.  \\;Reason I ask is mine makes one heck of a rattle when riding.
 \\;
My '94 has stamped stainless "covers"(shims) between the pads and caliper bracket to eliminate noise and wear. Then there is an anti rattle spring for the caliper as well, on the back side.
ok, thanks guys I went up on bikebandit.com and found what I am missing.

I agree it is not needed as I have been running without it for over a year but it does get irritating listening to it rattle.
