Congrats on the 16 - let me know what you find out as well since I'm still looking for a solution.
Did you move your floorboards as well, if so what product did you use?

I dunno Mike, I had it lubed pretty good, no O rings. The old lever slides right on but the new one is smaller diameter and will not go on.

Give Rick a call. He has to be one of the friendliest guys I've ever talked with on the phone. Very helpful. My pedal will be here this week.
A mistake could have been made and the wrong pedal sent. If so, I know he'll fix it

Thinking about it I know they changed the shaft size for 14's that why we couldn't put the 13 on. I would bet you got a 13 and earlier pedal? Mike

Talked to Rick - what a super nice guy. It appears there was an issue with the interior bushings (least I know I am not crazy). We worked something out, can't wait to to put it on.
And thanks to everyone who helped me out on here.

I called over to Softbrake on Monday and spoke with Rick. I told him I was interested in their brake lever and extended shifters. Rick was very helpful and suggested the size based on my needs. I also verified if they had any issues 2016 SGS. According to Rick, there shouldn't be any fitment issues.
Rick also gave me a local contact in my area so I could pick up locally. I should be picking up a few parts on Friday. I'll post back once I have them installed.
