Default Brake Pedal Angle
Is there anything that can be done to change the angle of the foot pedal? The stock 90* angle is just to much for my big feet.

What bike? What controls?

What is the connection from pedal to master cylinder?

So what are you riding? Aftermarket makes replacement brake arms/pedals for later model Touring with a better angle.

I bought a kit and moved the foot rests out and forward a bit. Kurakyn has a replacement brake pedal that moves it forward and down a bit. I installed both and they seem to work well together. The bike is in storage now, so no pictures. I don't have big feet, but boots are clumsy. Have a bit more room for movement and don't have to lift my leg to get my foot on rear brake.

a side question: on a 2020 StreetGlide the front and rear Brakes are slaved to each other right?
