Default EZ-brake

I have heard some members say that the easy Brake is a nice mod. I am short and was told that on my deluxe it would not make that much difference. any short deluxe owners have this mod would appreciate your feedback

no deluxe and not necessarily short (5'11") but like mine a lot and would think itd be fine for someone a few inches shorter (mines comfortable but i could go for a few inches farther out than it is

I'm 5'10" and it's the best mod I've made for safety & comfort. Used to be a big pain picking the foot up to hit the rear brake. Now it's more like a car brake pedal - out in front where it belongs!

NikonF8...I have the brake mod on two bikes. The point of the mod is to lower the height of the brake pedal. The stock one is too high almost to the point of being dangerous. Ever notice how on the stock brake you have to bring your foot out and up and then down to apply? Well with the mod you won't have that issue. It also moves the pedal a little more foward so if you have floorboards you get a little more space. Hope that helps you. Now can you please help me with my Nikon D70S...never had one! Ride Safe.

There are also other extended brake pedals, all slightly different in size and lenght.

I have the one from www.waltersworkshop.com and like it a lot, but I have also seen the www.bubbasbrakes.com extended pedal and it is a good setup as well. Kuryakyn alos sells one.
