Big Bike Parts just came out with a full-size brake pedal for the Spyder. I installed it on my RT and am very pleased. It feels much more secure to have the pedal extend more than halfway across my foot. A bonus is that it seems like you don't have to press as hard to get strong braking when you need it. The best part is it was only $29.95. Here is a link.

Works great on my RTL and it matches the floorboards.

:agree: :congrats: on a GREAT choice for your bike! :clap: :2thumbs:
Good information. Choices, choices. :thumbup:
I have a brand new one for sale, it didn't work out with the limited movement in my right foot. I wish that I could use it!Quote:

I have almost no movement of my foot, but fortunately it's my left foot. Whoever buys your pedal is getting a good deal.Quote:

2 questions:
1) Will this pedal also fit the park brake position?
2) Will it fit a 2010 RSS? The website says "Fits ALL Spyders", but the description states "2011-newer"
Thanks guys!
Added the petal, but, the extra weight has to tendency to put enough load on the petal to activate the brake lights. If I lift up on the petal it shuts off the lights. Is the stitch adjustable or has anyone put a bigger return spring on the brake?
26.00 from Amazon a REAL size brake pedal right where my foot expects it to be :clap:
I've heard of that happening before, but the new pedal on mine doesn't do that. It works just fine. I don't have any useful advice for you, but I wanted to say hello to someone from Las Cruces. I lived there for many years, graduated from NMSU and even though I lived several other places before moving to LC, I consider it to be my home town.Quote:

I like the bags.
I still haven't found a fix yet, but getting ready to The event in Utah in a week maybe someone has found one.Quote:

If the pedal does not stay up you probably just need to bleed your brakes. They should not be that soft.Quote:
