Default help finding extended rear brake lever

My toe rubs on the brake lever. The obvious fix would be to slide foot back but then I'm not in a comfortable position. I've seen them for the bigger bikes but not the Sporty.

Anyone see one? Thanks!

Which part of your toe rubs? What year and model bike?

2012 XLN with mids. The toe of my boot bumps the pedal. I'm only a size 11 so it's not like I have giant feet. But I would prefer if the pedal was an inch further out. I know I can customize the pedal,..but hoping for something prefab.

On a slightly different tactic, have you considered the 'further forward'
mid controls kit ? Downside is that its not cheap...

I don't think that would solve my problem. That moves your whole foot forward. I just need the brake pedal an inch or so forward so my toe isnt constantly bumping it.

My buddy just did the forward mids. Looking forward to taking for a spin.

I dont think I've ever seen an 'extended' lever for mids, like
is offered for the Softail guys.

Sorry not much help,
