Brake pedal too large
Hey guys, gals, First post here for me.
Just picked up an '11 flhtcu, traded up from a suzuki c90t.
I have had the tcu for 2 weeks now, and am realizing that the brake pedal is extremely obtusive, I mean this thing is the size of Rhode Island!!
I have done some searching here, and have not really found any good comments on a modification.
So, has anyone either cut and shaved their pedal, or does anyone know of a replacement small pedal replacement?

If you just want to move it inward to make a little more of the floorboard usable. You can remove the pad and cut about 1/2-1" off the end of the brake pedal and reattach the pad, it has a oval slot and will allow you to slide it inward by doing this so it does not hang out over the floorboard as much

I'm with ya Feeeeg! Couldn't find anything I liked so I made my own. Smaller, and relocated forward about 1 1/2 inches for more floorboard space. Looks cool too IMO.......

1. Rhode Island isn't that big.
2. You have a Harley now, your feet will be growing.
3. Get floorboard extenders to move the boards out, much more comfortable.

All very good points,
My issue is this, my left heel tucks very nicely into the lower fairing well, not so nicely into the right side lower fairing well, due to the pedal on the right being so damn big.
With my left foot in the fairing well, it is a very comfortable position without going out and buying highway pegs...
I think I will try the shaving of the pedal. If i have an epic fail, I can always buy a new one.
