Yeah, i have to contort my right foot and leg to get to the rear brake, i have been considering just bending the entire brake lever out away from the bike a bit, but afraid the chrome might crack and begin peeling. So i have been thinking about some way of extending it..that dont stick out like a sore thumb.

Put a hi-flo air cleaner on it. Then get rid of the football, just use a cover for the end of the filter. Your gonna do a stage one aren't ya?

The people who have trouble with this must be short or something. I haven't noticed any discomfort or trouble hitting the pedal, I'm 6'4'' though.

I installed a larger pad,doesn't look as good but beats hell out of trying to twist your ankle around to find the brake,especially when you need to stop in a hurry.

Good Luck

This is the million dollar move.
Been messing around for over a year. Bought a reach seat, that sucked. Bought the lowering blocks, they helped a little.
Put the flat cover on my round stage one air cleaner. BAM! Feels like a new bike.

Here is a stock photo from the HD website. I have the willie G skull type.

I have the SE Heavy Breather on my '10 WG, my knee NEVER hits it. I am 5'9", so around avarage hieght, but I also never rode mine with the stock airbox......

The only problem I have with my forward controls is I'd like to actually bring them CLOSER to me about a half inch or so......everyone makes extension kits, nobody seems to do the opposite!
