Default Adjustable brake with forward controls?

I was wondering if somewhere sells an adjustable rear brake linkage for forward controls for an Iron 883?


The rear brake pedal feels too far back and I have to lift my foot off the peg to use the brake. I would effectively like to adjust the brake clockwise(closer to the ground) so that I can keep my foot off to the right when not using the brake then rotate it to the left to use the brake, all while not taking my foot off the peg.


Thanks!

Check out Delboy's Garage on You tube. He has a video addressing your question.

Good luck.
