Default quick question

I purchased my first FLHR. It is 2000. My question is how much play should there be in the bars forward and back ? Is there rubber bushings mounted under the bars. My fatboy is solid no movement.

Thanks SDF

There should be no movement. You need to change out the rubber mounts, either with Harley or there are a couple after market.
