Default Adjusting VRSCA Vrod pedal distance

Hello
I just bought a 2003 Harley VRSCA and had it delivered an hour ago. Does anyone know how to adjust the gear and brake pedal distance. I am 6ft tall but they pedals are too far away to be comfortable and safe. Thank you

Didn’t you do a test ride to see how the bike fit you prior to buying. There are linkage adjustments you can make your self but i would really Ride it like it is a while and get use to it. At 6 ft tall most complain there not enough room. Take back to your dealer they will help you adjust it.

No, did not get a chance to try it out as it was in the next city and was only delivered in exchange for my 2 Kawasakis today. Worked out the problem. The previous owner was about 2meters tall and had custom extensions put on the pedals to put them further away. Beautifully done but will be removed shortly.

Would you be interested in selling the pieces used to move the pegs forwards? I may have the stock pieces if interested in trading?

Ok, I am in a place called the Vaal which is about 70kms South of Johannesburg South Africa. When I get the extensions removed then we can make a plan
