Default Brake Pedal Relocation

Looking to move my brake pedal down closer so it's less of a tractor brake. I've realized with spirited mountain riding where I need to use lots of braking, trail braking, etc., that my foot gets tired from having to keep it flexed.

I have found the E-Z brake. I'm wondering if there are any other options out there?

on my RK i had installed a extended peddle and still was not happy with it, i has enough room to drill a hole in a location that lowered the peddle a little once the pin was installed. the location i drilled was behind the stock pin location (if looking at in installed on the bike)

i was very pleased with it after i modded the pin location it was a more natural feel for me not so cramped and since my foot was not so high i had more control of the back brake

i bought a new stock brake pedal and cut a v notch in it. When I got it where I wanted it I simply heli arced it back together. The cut and weld is below the foot board. After dressing it down and painting it with silver paint you have to look for it to find the mod. I will send it to Nashville to be rechromed this winter.

i dont have a pic of the one i did but this was pretty much as simple as it gets

the pedal pin moves in an ark so the hole position being a touch lower didnt not affect any thing

i marked in the pic the area i drilled the hole to lower the pedal height

Default Kuryaken Extended Brake Lever

I replaced the stock lever with a Kuryaken Extended Brake Lever. There a 2 options - with or without lowers. I have a Ultra Limited so naturally went with lowers. I can now operate the brake without raising my heel off the floorboard. Much better for slow speed handling when feathering the rear brake.

There are You Tube videos showing the pedal and installation. It was not hard.

I think the Without Lowers piece would be too extended for me. The With Lowers is perfect.

Bought on Revzilla for about $90, no tax and free shipping. Had it in a few days. Its all over Ebay and Amazon too.

Highly recommend this product!

I'm using an extended brake lever (+2") from Softbrake.

It sits lower than the stock lever.

I got the Kuryaken extended lever, without lowers. Went on fairly easily and works great on Road Glide. Pedal is further forward and lower.
