Default 2010 FXCWC Brake Pedal Height
Hey guys new to HD Forum.
I have a 2010 FXCWC and the pedal height for me is about an inch or two low for my liking. I really would like to raise it and I just can't figure it out! Can anyone please help me out?

I've never really thought about it much, I would assume there is something fairly straightforward, I'll go look at mine and ponder it for ya man.

Yeah from going to the garage and looking, you'd either have to mod your arm and make it longer, buy a longer one, or buy a foot brake pedal that is the type that bolts onto your existing brake arm, and you might be able to position it to your liking. Some of the universal Harley foot pads mount like that.

If you can fabricate, you could mod up an extension fairly easily.

I was never that great at welding. I could do it but not that neat. Maybe I could send it out? Just want to be ready for the nice weather.

I just have to say your bikes are nice!

If you could see my pedal you'll see what I mean just really a bit low for my liking.

No need for welding. You can put a pad on top of the existing pedal to bring it closer.
Remember the blocks of wood we attached to the pedals of our big sister's hand-me-down tricycle so we could reach the pedals?) Along those lines.

Or you could get one of the aftermarket bolt-on pedals (not the whole brake lever, just the pedal at the end), and shim it out to reduce the distance to your foot.
