Mike answered your vendor information, a great guy and let him know you are an HDF member. No, the brake pedal will need no spacing. I did replace the supplied bolts with Diamond Engineering 12 point Raceproofs. Wifey can't break those at 180,000 psi (lol).

I went to http://www.harleygoodies.com and spoke to Tom. What a great guy to work with. He came up with a solution and am going to do the 2" spacers on both sides. Hope to have them in hand by next week. Thanks Msocko3 for the vendor tip.

Everybody keeps mentioning they're using the 2" spacers to extend their driver floorboards but when I go to their page, all I see are 1" extenders. What part number are people using to get the 2" extenders? Am I just blind...? Thanks.

I had Tom send me 2 sets of the 1" spacers with longer hardened bolts. If I find I only need 1", then I can sell the second set, but I am thinking I will use both sets of spacers.

Many have warned about using the tank bra...what has been your experience with it? Do you take the tank bra off when you wash the trike? Any discoloration as a result of the bra?

I put a tank bra on a Sportster I had once. When I removed the bra I found rub marks that had cut through the clear coat, I tossed it in trash when I saw that.

Like everything else, it's personal preference....I don't remove the tank bra to wash trike. If discoloration or scratch marks, would just put on another bra when this one wears out!!

To each their own.
