Road King Brake Pedal
Hi. Question regarding rear brake pedal on my 1997 RK. The pedal is too far back for me to get my toe on the pedal with my heel on the foot board. The angle is bad - too upright and I just can't bend my foot back enough to get on the pedal - I have to lift my foot off the floorboard and plonk my instep on the pedal. I need the pedal to go forwards by about an inch. Because of this I find progressive braking and dragging brake for slow turns a real problem. Okay, hands up, I've only done about 3000 miles on the bike, so maybe this is a common thing and I just have to get used to it.
Anyone else have this problem or is there a way to alter the angle of the pedal? My local dealer says not, yet I notice I can do it on his soft tail...and I've watch several videos of road kings and the pedals look lower than mine.
Thanks!

Thanks guys - good to know I'm not alone...i felt a bit dumb asking the question at the dealer. Like a couple of you, I have UK size 11's...
I gather from Big E78 that the lever is on a spline shaft? Okay, I'll probs try that first and let you know how I get on. Those billet brake and shifter parts look the business! I've kept the bike factory original so far, but I'm not going to let that affect my riding safety or enjoyment. They would make a superb addition. Thanks for everyone's input - I have more confidence to get the spanners out now. Ciao!
