Brake Pedal extension

[rmrc51]

Do any of you know of an extension that I can put on the brake pedal that would extend the surface out away from the body of the bike?

The reason I ask is that my feet, when sitting, stick out at least a 45 degree angle and its a PIA to try and straighten my foot to catch the brake pedal. I barely touch the extreme right of the foot brake now and that's with the Kurykan cover addition on it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or solutions.

Well, too much extension to the outside will put a bending moment upon the brake arm and end up making it worse by twisting the arm itself.

It may be better to put a few shims behind the whole assembly and make it more outboard!

Another thing you could do is enlarge the holes that hold the foot pedal assembly and lower the foot pedal a bit. The result would be a higher brake pedal in relationship to the foot pedal.
