Default Anyway to adjust the height of the brake pedal ?

I have installed mini boards on my 2010 Wide Glide. If I like the present position they are in I will need my brake pedal to be just a little higher. Is there an easy way to raise it up without doing a permanent modification? It will work where it is but to be ideal it should set up just a little higher. Thanks for your comments.

The brake rod can be turned counter clockwise to raise the pedal

The adjustment for it is in 'the front of' the rear master cyclinder.
Use 2 wrenches, it has a lock nut... loosen the nuts, 'un-screw' the brake rod a couple turns.
This should 'push' the bottom of the brake lever forward & 'tip' the top of it backwards.

You do have forward controls... right?
Maybe it works the same for mids... I don't know.

What he said, but he forgot to mention pulling the lock-pin from the pedal end as well.

Yea, I got that a little wrong.
The master cyclinder 'plunger' rotates... the rod doesn't need to turn.
The MC plunger will 'un-screw' off of the brake rod when the lock nut is loosened.

Some things are just easier to do... rather then explain!

Kury makes a wider pedal. Find it on ebay.

Instead of 'un-screw' it... just... 'scew it'.

Thanks everyone I was hoping there might be an easy fix. I will try and adjust it in the next couple of days.

Guess I got that one wrong as well.

Some times a single picture out does a bunch of words!
