Either the shaft is worn, or the chrome inner primary is, or both.
The bike only has 22,000 miles on it, and the shifters are rattling around like crazy.
The splines aren't loose, it's the shaft that's moving around in the hole through the primary. I greased it once, and it does tighten it up, but not for long.
Has anyone had this problem?

The end of the shaft will slide into the bushing then stop at the larger dia.Then take your hammer and drive them out.
Installation would be to place a new bushing on the tool,drive it to the end then repeat for the other.

I replaced the bushings in my 06 ultra it is about a 20 min job. the id of the bore for the
shaft is dam close to 11/16 th the bushing will drive out form the outside of the primary
case and just fall out the other side. there are two of them so drive the iner one in
untill it is flush with the outside of the case then drive the outer one in untillit is flush
then put your shifter back in. I put a grease fitting in mine so that wont happen agian
