Default Wish List: wider brake pad

Looking for a little wider brake pedal for my `11 FXDC with HD forward controls. that stubby little pad I had to fight like hell to get on bends my leg around the AC a little, just enough to be noticeable..

Dealer could not locate a compatible one in his catalogs for the Dyna, hoping just for a pad for the existing pedal arm rather than a whole new pedal.

Any ideas? Just wanting a couple more inches down there....

One of the first changes I made years ago on my bike,just get a fullsize pad like they sell for the FL models. Can't remember for sure but think I had to drill the hole a little bigger where the pad bolts on and used a rubber washer so the the new brake pad would snug up good without turning.

I drilled and tapped a set of brass knuckles. Just ran the bolt from the bottom up through them, ground it off flush. Looks good, works good.

I got a cover -
I'm pretty sure it is this one, it is the smaller pad and it sort of matched the pegs -
Unbolt the old one and bolt on the new one.
