Not too bad. I'm 6'2" and hate the stock brake lever.

It is one of the first things I did also to my 2014 Limited. Much more comfortable.

I took mine off because I lost the ability to slide my foot under the brake pedal. With the Softbrake I lost a good 2+ inches of foot room.

I hated the OEM pedal for the same reason you like it. Hated to get my toe stuck under the pedal. Unsafe as heck I thought. Had to move my foot backwards and up to apply rear brake. With the softbrake I could just lift my toe and apply brake.

I also ride with my foot under the pedal. Seems perfect since with linked brakes, there is no need for a rear brake pedal. Can't remember the last time I used it.

Are you sure you shouldn't be using your rear brake more often? They aren't linked all the time....
