I put these Kuryakyn K5773 Phantom Mini Boards on and as you can see from the first photo they’re way to close to the brake pedal even in the furthest hole!

So I switched sides and it’s now a lot better, even though they're facing the wrong way I think it still looks ok….
In the photo they’re in the middle hole. Last night I moved them down to the hole in the end it’s even better again.

@OzzyMozzy Your bike and those floor boards look great.

You might want to look into this brake pedal from HD. HD Brake Lever

Pricey but it made a huge difference for better angle for braking, and it might tuck in behind the floor boards nicely.

Thanks mate, I can see how that one would certainly make the difference. I'll see if my local dealer can one in.

You can adjust the stock brake lever to be a little higher, about an inch or so. There's a clevis on the back that can be adjusted. It made enough difference that my Thrashin Supply mini floorboards have been fine for tens of thousands of miles.

Ok just found out that stock won't be availability till the end of October and it's $360 AUD

Is there anything else that you may know of that would work?

Thanks mate, I had already adjusted it as far as I could before those photos were taken, so there is no more i can do.

WOW $360 AUD is steep. Might try Ebay

This one might be the same buy I would ask the seller for a P/N
Ebay Brake Lever
