Do yourself a favor before going out and buying the (expensive) extended brake pedal -- Put the (cheap) floorboard outward extenders on first and try it for a few miles...
I'm somewhat of a sasquatch myself - extended the pedal on my old RK (It was... It was lots of money, whatever it was).
Had the same issue on my SG and I planned on getting another extended pedal - but first, I got the (Soos?) extenders put on and the brake pedal suddenly seemed fine (probably because I could suddenly put my giant rear paw anywhere I wanted).
Good tip. Thanks. I'll try that cheaper route since I will have the floorboard extensions either way - might as well try it first.
