(NT) Forward Control Extension Brake Adjustment
I have an 09 NT and just had the 3" forward control extension installed. The fit feels great except for the brake. Feels like the pedal is a bit too far forward of the peg. Like I have to flex my foot too far forward to get a good strong stop. Is there any adjustment on the brake pedal? I just need 3/4-1" on the brake pedal.

Sounds like you need to bleed the rear brake a little more. I installed the 3" extensions on my Night Train last year, and after i first did it I had the same issue. I had to push down pretty hard and extend my foot more than normal to get the rear brake to work. I bleed the brakes a little more, and got a few air bubbles out and its perfect now.

I had that same issue with my 09 Train. The shifter was perfect but the brake was a bit too far. I added a Kuryakyn pedal cover ( 8029 ) over the existing pedal cover and now it's perfect. Just adding that little bit made a difference.

Sounds like your leg is over-extended. You probably should have gone with the 2" extension. What's done is done though. Unlike Dynas, there is no adjustment. Maybe something like this would help?

TheDarkNightTrain pegged it!
