Dumped Bike - brake pedal pushed up

DANG! I dumped my new Fat Bob this morning. I was going uphill on gravel, low speed. Other than ego, no real damage other than the fall pushed my rear brake pedal up over the right foot peg. Anyone know what I need to do to adjust back to normal resting position? thanks

Sorry about the dump. Glad youre ok, #1

Now, have a tech guy at HD look at it, and he will reccommend a new one or re adjustment. (I have a good reppoire with my tech guys) so they'd do it for me..not sure of youre situation.

Good Luck, and Play safe.

I'd wanna look at the rear brake master cylinder. The impact might have taken out the seal where the actuation rod enters into it. (if the way I've worded it makes any sense)
