Or, you could be some others and whine about how your Duc keeps breaking.   [roll]  (not pointing to anyone in this thread, though).

Glad you got it sorted out.  My Cycle Cat lever has a fair amount of play, but I've yet to have a problem down-shifting.

When the lever play gets annoying, it's an easy fix.  You'll  need the Ducati OEM brass bushing.  I  might order a 15mm drill bit just for shits and giggles.

Cool.  I think I'm bringing the bike over to your place on Saturday when Dildo comes over to finish putting his bike back together.  I'll let you see if the lever has similar as yours and I'm also planning on changing out the reservoirs and flushing the brake/clutch fluid.
