Custom/adjustable rear brake pedal
 
Hi,

After getting the current one bent, I was hoping to get it replaced with something easier to control as I'm finding the position of the pedal not comfortable and it's proving hard to apply proper controlled pressure to it using my heel on the footrest as a pivot.

If anyone is aware of replacement pedals that might be more comfortable to use, I would appreciate any information on the subject.

Thanks

Uri

The OEM pedal has some height adjustment at the bolts to the MC at the back, but I guess that won't help if you can't reach it!

Thanks, I can reach it but can't comfortably keep my foot in the right position to operate it smoothly. Do you have a link to the OEM company?

Cheers

OEM means Original Equipment supplied by Manufacturer! :smt046

Is the pedal too long for you?

You could always measure how much shorter you want it and get it altered by anyone that can weld Aluminium.

There is a couple of companies by me that specialize in metal work and fabrication.

Angel Weld, based in New Addington, Croydon.

OR

Limpsfield Engineering Ltd
Unit 10 &11
Airport Industrial Estate
Wireless Rd
Biggin Hill
Kent TN16 3BW

Both are really good and helpful.

It might be too long, I'll have a play, cheers for the advice.
