I really don't like that I can't flat-foot the right foot peg without resting the ball of my foot on the brake pedal. I'd like to add a longer brake pedal so it's not so close to the peg. However, I'm having trouble finding one. There are plenty with a wider brake pedal, but not a longer one.
Any suggestions? Thank you!

Why don't you simply pull off the brake pedal from it's splined shaft; re-position so it's slightly lower? That's what I did. Works very well.Quote:

I appreciate that and I'll definitely give that a shot. It seems like I've read somewhere that the splined bit can fall a little inwards if one is not careful. Is there anything to know before loosening the nut? Thanks again.Quote:

Thanks again for the heads up. I'll adjust it with the bike on the centerstand and try to keep a hold of it to avoid said trouble.Quote:

I tried adjusting the brake lever down. No dice. Even one notch puts it at a such a steep angle that you have to depress it very low for engagement. It's weird, with the teeth so close together, I would've thought there would've been much finer adjustment possible.
I guess the next step will be buying a brake pedal cover, to see if I can adjust it down, and then add about half the height of the adjustment back with the brake pedal cover.

Hmmm. Sorry it didn't work initially for you.Quote:

This is my set up.Quote:
