[Haze]

Does an F3/F3S need or benefit from a Full Size Brake Pedal ??
I know the full size pedal is a benefit on my STS.

I got a larger brake pedal from Spyderpops. Now I no longer worry about finding it or having my foot slip off.

Yes, it needs a wider pedal and here's how to get one for free. Remove the two nuts from the underside and lift the pedal off. Move it outward and slip the left stud into the right hole and secure it with one of the nuts. Done.
If the vacant hole bothers you, as it did me, insert a bolt and secure it with the other nut. Now it looks like the factory did it and you have a wider pedal and $$ in your pocket.
I did this almost two years ago and it's still working great. No, it never loosened.

I basically have the one in the pic, works well. My foot always finds it.

yes amazon cheaper same pedal

Easy inexpensive way to lower it. Drill the front yoke. Can be fine tuned with washers between the pad and lever.

I tried that hole thing and the pedal still wasn't the right height for me. So I tuned the rod into an adjustable one....

I have the Spyderpops version on the 2019 and will have one put on the 2020 when we get it serviced.

I always have liked a wider brake pedal.

Me too....free and works great.

I think the Spyder Pops version .. https://spyderpops.com/search.php?search_query=pedal is the Show Chrome version .. https://www.amazon.com/Show-Chrome-Accessories-41-179-Brake/dp/B01BM6BI2O

Looks good. What is the pipe size? I guess I could measure, but I'm lazy and it's difficult to kneel down with my motocross knees.

Are you asking me? No pipe involved, I just moved the pedal outboard one notch.

What size is the pipe??

What size is the pipe??

I used a 6" long 3/8" galvanized nipple. I ran a 1/2" drill bit through it and had to remove a bit diameter on the rod ends until I had a close slip fit. The tension pins are 1/8 X 3/4".

There are exceptions to every rule....with my size 15s, when I lower the pedal position slightly, I find the insole of my boot contacting the top of the board mounting bracket and limiting my brake travel. I can’t put the wide pedal on as it forces my very wide foot off the boards. I imagine that this would be one of the reasons that BRP decided to put the stock pedal position so far above the boards.....still looking for a foolproof solution.

Put pegs back on is probably the only way. For me it works 'cuz I don't like boards.

Pete; When I moved the floorboards to suit me, I had the same prob.....aftermarket pedal (as show in your first post) hung partly out over the front of floorboard. If you take the pedal off, you will see the underneath lug with two bolt holes; turn the pedal around and it will fit without hanging over floorboard. One catch; the lug underneath needs to be trimmed down about 1/4" or more in order to sit flush across the brake arm. I used a recip saw with metal blade and it cut thru easily.
Hacksaw prob will work but will take lot of work. Works well and gives you a lot of pedal that fits the foot nicely.

Depending on location of floorboards and brake rod, you might find the pedal too high or too low. There is generally room on each end of the rod to drill another hole to put the pedal where it suits you best.
