• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

"Full Size Brake Pedal"

When I test drove my new F-3 S SS, it had the "Full Size Brake Pedal" already installed. Only $32 but a waste of money. This pedal blocked 2/3 of the foot peg giving very little room for my foot and very few positions. I replace the POS.4 rod with the POS.5 to give me maximum forward control and pegs.

The dealer forgot to give me the stock rod and the standard brake pedal which I did not realize I should have been given. For a couple of week I been riding with the "Full Size Brake Pedal." White's Cycle & Marine was nice enough to mail me the forgotten items at their expense. This saved me a 160 mile round trip to Chattanooga. :2thumbs:

Much more comfortable ride now that I have use of 2/3 of the right peg for my foot and only 1/3 of peg blocked by standard brake pedal. :D

Just a bit of recommendation for anyone considering buying the "Full Size Brake Pedal." Other F-3 S riders might not have this problem.
 
I also found the large aftermarket pedal too intrusive but still preferred it over the small OEM. I took mine off and underneath was a large welded block with the two bolt holes and by sawing off a portion of the weld the pedal fit perfectly turned around with plenty of space between it and the motor. That gave me more room on the right side for my foot. I'm tossing this out for others who might want to try this remedy.
 
I installed the larger brake pedal and after 800 miles or so I took it off and went back to OEM. It took up too much room and gave me an uncomfortable feeling.
 
I think I've still got a NIB large brake pedal I bought for my 2018 RTL last year. I decided I preferred the stock pedal so I could get my foot all the way on the floorboard.
 
There is lots of "play" in the brake pedal before the light comes on so one can have one's foot on the brake without activating the cruise kill or light.. I find it hard to lift my leg to apply with the tiny OEM at it's default height. I put on the extended but found it too sensitive. I adjusted the level by drilling out the yoke and fine tuned it with washers under the pad. One can get a "fake" elongated pedal by just using one bolt under it moved out to the outer hole. Gives and extra inch or so (yer not quite pigeon toed) to apply but it's not too attractive.
