So just picked up a 2001 x1 and the shift lever is wiggly as there are no plastic bushings and on top of that the previous owner stacked washers and a nut to make up for the missing spacer. I am having a hard time tracking down the parts.

Any help would be great.

The mounting post for the footrest is made of cheese or something very soft, designed to crumble in a crash instead of bending the bikes frame; replace that and most of your problems will go away.

stand on your pegs and jump up and down. make sure they have not been weakened by drops. the X1 actually shifts OK when everything is right and tight.

If you've got a 2001 it shouldn't have anything to do with the foot pegs unless for some reason someone put a boomerang shifter on it.

Which parts do you need?
Plastic Bushings?
Steel pivot bushing?
Steel wide flange chin fairing bushing?

I have some of these items around.

The 2001-2002 shifter works better. Not as much slop.

Plastic and steel pivot. No boomerang. Nothing to do with the pegs. Having a hard time getting a pic small enough to post.

On the boomerang shifter their is a plastic bushing, harley does not carry them anymore, on my 98 m2 on ebay. I found the copper bushings this is 4yrs back though. I Have the same issue in my 99 x1. I think the online store on ebay I bought the copper bushings from were americantourque store again no luck finding them any where..heck I have a hard time finding the updateday shifter on the x1

I think he pulled the bronze bushing listings off eBay. I tried to install one last week, and the supplied sleeve that the bushings rode on was .050 was too short. When I bolted it all together the shifter wouldn't move. He sent my replacement yesterday, so hopefully he has it resolved.

While you're in there, scrape off the paint on the frame behind the footpeg.
After a while, mine got chewed up and interfered with the shifter.
Later, I found the same thing started to happen on my brake pedal. Rear brake wouldn't let go all the way. "What's that smell?"
