Adjust brake pedal height?
After reading a ton of post's here, I went out and bought a 2012 new RT. Picked it up Wednesday, and managed to put some miles on it.
The question is, I would like to be able to have more space between the brake pedal and the bottom of my shoe. With my foot on the peg it seems to close to the pedal, so I have to canter my foot to the outside so as not to be touching the pad. I did a search and found a fix that raised the pad, but nothing to lower it.
Anyone else have this issue.
By the way I love this sight and all the info that can gleaned, a dedicated guy like Lamont, and Spyder Lovers that want to help!

I don't believe you can adjust the pedal height, it has to come up against the rubber stopper. The adjustments are for the breaks them selves from what I could determine when I had mine apart. I actually bought a wider break pedal so I could hit the brake more quickly as I had on occasion missed the small brake pedal and had near collisions.

Reggie at TricLed sells a brake pedal that is twice as wide as the original. Works great!!

Same here(size 14's) and it's next to impossible to get your toes under the brake pedal. Even with the pad elevated the bends of the metal still won't let you get a foot comfortably under the pedal. The best choice appears to be cutting the pedal arm, lengthening it by around a 1/2" and welding it back together. Then re chroming! PITA and costly if one no longer has the shop equipment to do the mod.
Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.
