Just in case and only as a suggestion, be sure to make your next new post over in the new member welcome area.

You referring to the pin that is in the old pads? Aftermarket may just be glued backing plate. What does the online fish show you think is missing?

 

i mean that lock pin. I dont know what its called. The long one. Not the retainer clips

 

yeah that lock pin no12. Where can i get and what its called? Could someone help me?

 

Here is the link to the Harley Davidson Parts listing for your motorcycle, go to it and it will give you the proper name for the part you are looking for. Your Dealer should be able to get the parts for you, or go aftermarket once you have the proper nomenclature:

Thankyou guys! Found it! Pretty expensive. But should i be concerned if not wearing that retainer?

 

How much is your life worth?

The parts were engineered to be there for a reason.

Just which retainer are you talking about.

Provide the number from the diagram I provided.

 

It's no 3. Absolutely will get this thing.

 

#3 Is the Brake Pad Kit and comes with those spring clip retainers, they keep the pads lined up.

 

Think 12 is a anti rattle spring wire. Those end clips do the same thing. However, not 100% certain. The pads align into the radius of item 1 when you brake. Lot of times, there is fwd and aft shake. Those clips and spring wire stop rattle.

On a car, it also stops a click when you back up and brake from pads slideing back and hitting other side of 1.
