My '94 FLSTCbrake pedal has startedrattling when I ride it now. I checked the nut and it is tight. The exploded drawing doesn't show any bushing to erode away either. Any ideas on whatto dobesides holding pressure on itwith my heel?

 

Mine always rattled. Not sure on the fix but have wonder if a o-ring can be stragetically placed to take up the excessive slack.

A well greased O-ring between the pedal nad the mounting should cure it. But first I would see about getting a diaphram style spring, looks like a thin wavey or cone shaped washer. Put one of them between the pedal and the mounting on the piviot bolt, put a light coating of grease and you should have a rattle free pedal for the life of the bike.
You should be able to get one at nearly any well supplied hardware store.

 

I just replaced the brake pedal on my 06 Heritage. The original pedal did have (what looked like plastic) bushing. The replacement had this also as well as a bushing where the pedal connected to the master cylinder actuating rod.

The original also had an o-ring that went on under the washer. Eithera worn bushing or o-ring could cause a rattle.

Other than the ideas mentioned above, wheel bearing or CV joint greasemay ease the rattel as well.

I'll check out the directions tonight - certain years requiredthe post to be greased before installing the pedal, later years did not.
