Yea, as stupid as this sounds, I'm actually "missed" the brake a couple of times. As I said my size 15 shoe wasn't made for such a small pedal. I feel better about it now
I installed one because on more than one occasion my foot became hung up on the lip where the casting meets the black side panel. I almost rear ended a car because of this. The wider pedal allows me to move my foot away from that just enough and now no more hang ups.
Isn't it difficult to keep from touching or riding the brake? Seems like it sticks-out so far there isn't any place to put your foot but on the pedal -- which we all know can cause you some problems.
Just wondering...

That was my problem too--as I stated above, with size 15 shoes there's a lot of foot to manage! LOL I've had a couple of minor scares where I couldn't connect with the brake properly and almost didn't stop . This seems to help

Just one more reason BRP should install a hand brake like the two wheelers...
Its a 10mm. Mine was wonderful on my previous '11 but not on the '14 with floorboards. I've tried it twice and taken it off each time.
I would think this pedal would be dangerous with floorboards, especially the BRP breakaway boards. I'm wondering if it would hang up on the top of the breakaway board before it was able to engage the breakaway feature. On the aftermarket boards, there is a cutout which will let you depress the OEM pedal until it is flush with the board. The extended pedal would be stopped an inch or so sooner.

It works fine with the break away floorboards, no problem
