Default Brake pedal

I was wondering if there is any way to get a larger brake pedal on the stock forward controls of a 2002 1200C ? The wife does not feel comfortable with it where it's at.

By larger do you mean longer, or just a bigger surface area? Don't know that they make them longer for the sporty but if you want to add surface area, j&p cycles has this http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup...All&page=1. Also, a buddy of mine cut the brake pedal and then welded a new one to match the shifter and pegs, don't know if that would be an option for you as well.

Kuryakyn has a "clamp-over" iso brake pad in their catalog. It clamps over the existing brake foot pad. Looks like a nice add-on.

I didn't like the look of mine so I drilled it and mounted a new pad to it.

When you by a kit of pegs and grips there is usually a brake pedal cover so I put it on and it works great and looks good, all of my controls match. Look at a Dyna or Softail that is how it is mounted.

I sanded a flat on mine and drilled a hole in it to accept any HD. brake pedal cover. Worked like a charm.

I drilled a hole in mine as well and mounted a flamed brake pedal pad for a BT. I had already changed the shifter peg, so it made sense to try and match it on the other side. Next are the flame footpegs, timer cover, derby cover and air cleaner insert.....Followed by Progressive shocks and fork spring kit, chrome upper belt guard.....Does it ever end????
