Default Rear brake pedal wobble

Had my first drop today. Never once in 7 years on a bunch of different scooters. Still seeing red. Just bought my fxdls 3 weeks ago. Luckily it was nothing major. Low speed, quick drop in a parking lot. Minimal damage. Some scuffs to the front and rear brake levers. BUT, it seems like the rear brake lever now has more play than before (I'm talking side to side, got some wiggle to her when i grab it with my hand.) The brake works flawlessly, just want to know if there's any way to tighten it up. I looked everywhere for an adjustment bolt. It looks like the brake lever is attached to the peg...


Any help would be appreciated, guys.

Completely wrong response....deleted.

mid pegs have a standoff that holds brake pedal... might have bent it a bit or the clip that holds the pedal may be bent.

Thanks for the quick correction. Stopped by the local dealer and had the service dept take a look. The guy told me the rear brake pedal is supposed to have a little bit of play. He even took me into the show room to show me on a brand new Lowrider S. Sure enough the pedal was wobbling side to side. I'm still gonna have them give it a once over at my 1k service but it's nice to have a little piece of mind.

Be happy that your bike took a "nap" on the right side. Many a shifter fork have been bent because the shifter transferred an unusually forceful action upwards during a tip over or slide.

Oh ****. I didn't even think of that. I hope my tranny is OK.
