Hard to reach rear brake pedal
Having trouble getting to my rear brake pedal around the AN Big Sucker2 filter, and need a wider pedal piece that sits further out. I can change the pedal itself, it isn't one piece. Recently got the bike and it is getting old (though I use the front brake 80% of the time). It fastens with an allen bolt. A wide oblong style would be nice, but a peg is fine. Any ideas or manufacturers you can recommend?

RE: Hard to reach rear brake pedal
One of the first changes I made on my bike. got tired of twisting my ankle around trying to find that little postage stamp sized brake pedal. Most every style of pedal made by Harley is available in the small and the large size,kinda wish they made an intermediate size though. You may have to use an o-ring or rubber gasket with a flat washerto give a little more grip so the pedal won't twist around.

While you're at it get the EZ Brake replacement brake arm. Best thing I've put on my bike so far.
