I would like a larger foot brake pedal. Has any one modded theirs, or know of a mod for it?
Have trouble finding it sometimes, and I think a larger pedal would solve this.. Maybe a large pedal from a vtx??

My wife felt the same way. I had a stock rear passenger footpeg laying around, so I unbolted the brake pedal, got a longer bolt and bolted on the passenger peg. She loves it!

Mine must be different... has 2 small bolts that that screw in from under the pedal to the pad...
I have bought a kuryakyn longhorn #8044 pedal cover and going to see if i can make it work.
Will see.....i'll let ya'll know if successful.
I found a solution for a larger pedal pad. I bought a Kuryakyn Longhorn pedal pad# 8044. I had to modify the square end to fit flush ( grinded the end to fit the spyder's brake pedal ). The mounting bolt matched up with an existing hole, so no drilling was needed.
Here's a pic of it mounted.
I'll post a pic of the stock pad vs the longhorn tomorrow.

You would think that the BRAKE pedal would be IMPORTANT and not all of us have tiny feet?!?!? I have to almost turn my foot inward to get to it.. I'm on an RTS It is supposed to be for touring.... not quite set up for it... ie needs larger gas tank and cup holder ROFL!!! I do need a longer brake pedal though ... any suggestions?
I don,t want a wider brake pedal for my GS BUT because of the Sport leg angle I would like one 2 inches farther forward so I could get an improved leg angle and Leverage in an emergency stop?
I have a hinged brake lever from ISCI..part ##SPY-HB-FB-BL for sale.....the description says it locates the brake pedal 3 1/2" forward...the pedal part hinges upwards so you don't get your foot caught underneath it,in case you have floorboards..$160.00 shipped and I have Paypal....http://www.isciride.com/iscirsautoparts.htm#brakelevers...this the ISCI link..

For you RT folks looking for a wider pedal, I just talked to the ISCI folks. They are out of stock right now, but should have more extended brake pedals in about 2 1/2 weeks - about 1 1/2" wider than the OEM.
