I would check to see if your caliper is moving properly, the pads (buttons, I assume you mean) should not rattle. Perhaps there are some shims worn out or missing?

@gravedggiggerpaul this area (Forum Issues) is used to discuss any issues you are having with the Harley Davidson Forum software not motorcycle related problems.

Probably best to raise your question in one of the tecnical areas of the forum such as this area https://www.hdforums.com/forum/frame...end-brakes-56/

Add a dab of clear RTV to each button. Do see replacement buttons on Amazon and Ebay.
