Default Sportglide rear brake pedal has anyone changed theirs?

Has anyone changed out their Sportglide rear brake pedal?
I find it tough to reach and wanted to know if anyone had replaced theirs and with what.

From memory it's under a rubber boot to protect the master cylinder. These other guys know better than me there's a thread on it here from not too long ago actually.

Peace.

On the rear master cylinder and brakepedal is a connection, just pull the pivot pin out and loosen the nut that you see just before the bracket that hold this pin, then you can
adjust the hight of the pedal by turn the bracket in or out. When you reach the right adjustment put back in the pin ans fasten the nut and you are done.
