l/f caliper question,1985 honda interceptor

Hi guys,I  can hear my l/f caliper clicking when driving my bike at lower speeds,when I inspected the caliper I can wiggle it by hand approx 1/16" up and down,all the mounding hardware is tight? is this normal???

I will step out and report back in an hour or so  :tongue:

The front left caliper is supposed to wiggle as it pushes in the TRAC system under braking. By hand I can moved it by a few millimetres and make it "rattle"

Furthermore all calipers on the VF can move laterally over sliding pins. They can/will corrode/clog up with crud over time (if not inspected and cleaned( making thing solid.
