Default adjust rear brake pedal Dyna FXDF

I dumped my Fat Bob at slow speed this morning going uphill on gravel. Other than ego, no real damage done except the rear brake pedal is now pushed up almost over the footpeg. Anyone know what I need to do to adjust the pedal back to normal position? Thanks!

It sounds like you bent it. Just carefully bend it back. I believe the Fat Bob has forward controls and the materials that they are made of should be malleable. Give it a try but be careful.
