Default Rear brake

Hey all, I just traded the sportster for a 2008 nighttrain!! Is there an adjustment to move the brake pedal closer, as I am vertically chalenged and my legs bearly reach the pedal. I was able to move the shifter 1 spline up and now if I can rotate the brake pedal all would be great!!

Don't think you can do the same thing with the brake, but you might want to look into getting a thicker pad for the pedal or start looking around for someone to redo the seat to push you forwards a bit.
HD also sells a "Reach" seat to do the same thing, but there are a few aftermarket places that do it to your seat for a lot less money. You get a better seat in the bargin.

You may be able to mess with where the master hooks to the pedal with some improvide linkage or something to bring the pedal back. I'm not near my bike so I can't take a look at it. Let me see if I can come up with something.
