Default forward controls - brake pedal adjustment?

I just got my Bob back from having fwd controls installed and I love them except one thing.....the brake pedal seems to be too high and back toward the rear of the bike......I have to lift my foot off and up high to get my toe on the pedal.
Is it possible to adjust the pedal so it moves down and toward the front of the bike more?


thanks

Follow the brake rod to the rear master cylinder. There should be a lock nut which can be loosened. Adjusting the threaded connecton to the rear master cylinder will either lower or raise the brake pedal height.

Good one. I've been wondering if that was possible.
