Default Longer brake pedal arm

I have an 08 Super Glide with dealer mounted forward controls. I recently put a Lindby Linbar highway bar on it. Now I can't get my foot on the peg as far as I used to because I hit the highway bar. Does anyone know if some manufacturer makes a longer brake arm so I can slide my foot under it like on the shifter side when I ride? I hate to get rid of the Lindby bar because it looks sharp. Any suggestions?

Pictures would help here...

I have forwards, and my foot is not 'underneath' my brake pedal.... I would have to be severely pigeon-toed for that to happen.

Which model# Lindby did you get? The 104 is for forwards.

When I had my forwards on my 06, I didn't like the way the brake pedal and my foot fit inside the Lindby bar. So, I straightened out the bends in the arm to open up the area for my foot.


BTW - as far as I can tell is that two of these brackets is the difference between the Lindby forward and mid bars.

I will take some pics this week with my foot on the peg and post so you see what I mean. When my foot is on the peg I can't slide it up as far as I like because it hits the highway bar. If I try to move in more on the peg the brake pedel is in the way. I hate to take off the Lindy bar because it looks nice and cost me a chunk of cash.
