Default Brake lever adjustment?

So there is a ton of adjustability in the gear shift lever, but seems like none in my 15 Ultra brake lever. Its waaay to high. I rarely use it, but when I want to I shoot low. Any suggestions?

I went with the softbrake lever. It lowers the angle down. Lots of posts here from happy customers. Best solution around. www.softbrake.com/shop/products.asp?maingroup=Harley&secondgroup=Brake
Worst website for a great product. Great people to talk to. (208) 561-5031

I have a post on here about how i cut mine and welded it in a proper position, easy to do if you have the tools but much cheaper to go with the soft brake pedal if you don't.

Even with the linked brakes, you should practice proper front and read braking technique. You do not get full braking unless you use both f and r.

As to your question. I have the Soft Brake pedal and love it. Do a search in the Rushmore section and you'll find all the info in it.

The foot brake lever that the Rushmore's have was obviously designed by a person that doesn't ride. But as others have stated, Softbrake is the answer.

Thanks everyone...
