Bigger Brake Pedal

[SNOOPY]

I've searched around a bit, but can't find something specific?

Has anyone found a bigger/larger brake pedal pad for a ST ?

Perhaps I need to call some of the sites that sell the pads, because they just don't seem to list ST in their product lines yet?

I find that the factory brake pad is sorta small to hit, hoping to find something 2-3 times larger that bolts on?

I thought Reggie at TricLED had something that might work. You could also do up something yourself as it wouldn't take too much work or engineering to make a new pad.

Reggie at Tricled has an oversized pedal that works great.

I haven't done it yet but I'm going to take the pad that we to when in installed the Seal boards, weld a short piece of scrap metal (as long as its flat) to the break peddle then cut you may have to cut off a little of the rubber, and there you have it, an extended break peddle cut off length to suit you. Then I took the foot peg rubber and after drilling holes to match you have it. Just don't make it too long.

I did my own brake pedal mod by replacing it with a car rubber pedal I bought from orielly auto part store. I can send you a picture if you want.

I just wrote a thread that I think will work if you have install floorboards

Please do.

I was hoping for a simple bolt on, but not sure if the pad is even separate from the rod/lever?

I MADE MINE 1" HIGHER I USED A SCRAP PIECE OF ALUMINUM CHANEL DRILLED 2 HOLES BOUGHT 2 1 1/4" STAINLESS BOLTS USED ORIGINAL BRAKE PADVisitedStatesMap.jpeg

I don't really need it higher I believe I would just like more surface area so it's easier to hit....especially in an emergency.

I used a piece of aluinum & made it about 1.25" wider. I them mounted the oroginal pedal pad on top of the fabricated piece. I have no trouble finding it now.

I see a possible problem with your setup. For many reasons the brake pedal could have some extra travel. For that reason, BRP has setup the floorboards with a release mechanism so the the front of the right floorboard will fall away so you still have full pedal travel. If the pedal pad hits the floorboard before the pedal arm hits the release trigger it could be dangerous. I think it is something to check out.

Thanks for the heads-up & info on the floor board release. I didn't know about that. I had given some thought to the pedal hitting the floorboard, for 1 of many reasons, but figured if I lost that much travel quickly, I'd be in deep doo - doo anyway.

Ill take it, does it bolt on? Lol

[Bob Denman]

Yup! Right back as a direct replacement for that little "steel wool" pad!

[SNOOPY]

Is that the one from Tricled?


Again, it only says for RT and RS

[SNOOPY]

I should start a movement for ST products.

How do I get ahold of Reggie at Tricled. I would like to order this larger brake....

resize floorboard.jpgThis is from ISCI

[Motorcycledave]

Here is what I did, I hated my brake pedal it was way to small and I feel very unsafe, I am suprised
that the govt. allowed it on the Spyder, one of the vendor/sponsors here ISCI is the manufacturer.
The photos here is of me installing it on my GS/RS but I bet the unit here will work on yours and if not
they will have one that will. the new brake pedal is about 4 in. forward from stock and it is double the
stock one in size. Very high quality materials were used to make it and well worth the price.
I give it a Dave's 5 big thumbs up

This is a very good question.

This is why I asked for a bigger pedal.

I owned the bike 2 weeks and went to move it, it started rolling on my slight incline driveway. I went for the brake a couple times and couldn't seem to hit it in a panic.

Lucky my truck caught it

I learned early that in a panic/ emergency that I need a little bigger brake pad.

Thank you for the post, I guess in the worse case I will need to fabricate a little.
