Okay, so I take it you're not re-using the rubber OEM pad, but one that bolts on. Have you tried fitment to see if the brake lever arm that comes up to the pad won't interfere with the pad you'll be using when you slide it to the left and bolt it down? Why not just cut the whole pad area off, drill a hole in the arm, and mount the foot peg of your choice to it?

If he cuts the whole pad area off, he will have the cut side on the outside, I would think to cut the inside/left side of the pad closest to the break arm to have the cut side hidden or flush against the break arm.
If this will work.

I have a question.
I have a '14 SG and the rear break pedal is pretty wide. I can't stretch my leg out. I pulled the cover off and noticed that, if I trim off about 3/4" of the "main" part of the pedal I can move it over (the adjusting slot allows for that) The question I have is, if I pull the pedal assembly off, I will need to unhook it from the break master cylinder. Will I then need to bleed the break when I re-install it? I could not find a return spring that pushes the pedal back so I am assuming the pressure in the cylinder pushes it back.
I attached a pic.
Thanks
Dave

I thought about cutting it off just to the left of the notch. Then trimming top and bottom off so the old style pedal cover would bolt on.
Excuse the crappy graphics....
