[QUOTE="vince998, post: 26403, member: 261"] Hi John, I noticed this on mine as well, although i have nowhere near the amount of play you are desribing. The fit is actually better than the one piece plates of old. All my noise comes from the ear stop faces rattling against the drum at low engine speeds. (The noise has to be heard to be believed!!! :D) I have seen (or heard) others with the same friction plate fitted, and they are as quite as normal? Something i have noticed is that the friction lining has been bonded onto the steel plate off centre. (Although theoretically, this should throw the heavier side of the plate out and hard into contact with the drum?) i rode 100 miles or so with the black nasty in place, and it is still fairly quite. When i have a bit more time, I shall look into making up some dampening blocks (maybe from nylon or hard rubber) and fitting them to the contact face of each ear. Something i read for the first time yesterday is that the old type 1 piece lightning pattern plates were actually made up of two different materials (the material for the outer part of the plate with the ears being much tougher than the friction material). The last couple of these i bought (and subsequently destroyed) were definately from 1 material type only? [/QUOTE]
