Location of the brake pedal on the RT

[southjerseyrider]

does this extension interfere with the floorboard emergency breakaway?

Try this, it worked for me:

As long as you can depress the pedal far enough: no... it won't! :thumbup:

Does anyone find it at all annoying that the brake pedal seems back too far, and a bit too high...

I assume that you have a slightly different layout than is on my model because I feel exactly the opposite.
On my '11 RT, the pedal is too close to the body work in front of it AND is slightly below the peg level. Both bad things.

I have an oversized pedal to install and may shim it up just a bit when I install it.
But I suspect that my toe will still tend to hit the fender when I go for the brake.

It's a completely different setup on the newer bikes that have the OEM floorboards...

Just an FYI .. on the install.

... in my case anyway.
Reference to the above pic for the seller's instructions for install.
I found that I had to install the actual aluminum extension underneath the footplate instead of underneath the spacers.
This made the extension arm high enough to the point it would collapse the footrest under heavy braking.
In my case, as installed shown above, my footrest didn't collapse.
Your install may vary.

Brake return spring video

Found this video that helps explain the installation of the helper return spring for the pedal extension or oversized pedal. It works!

thats how i did mine, but i ground the spacers at an angle. i also used a spring underneath just because.

I might grind down the spacers later.
Already had the return spring underneath from when I installed the larger brake pedal - it is needed.

Why ?
The larger pedal can't be THAT much heavier......can it ??

I found I needed the return spring while on the ferry there was an overhead announcement that my brake lights were going crazy because of the motion of the boat. Thought it was a malfunction at first, then figured out it was my brake pedal.

Added comfort seat and that made for a more pleasant situation for me

I'm happy with just having the oversized brake pedal. :thumbup:

Great Bob.....Now I want the oversized brake pedal.....AND the sheepskin seat cover.....will it EVER end? :gaah: My Honey says it would have been cheaper just to enroll me in the "Jewelry Of The Month Club!"

 

[HayRog]

With your 2 Spyders, the Jewelry club would definitely be cheaper
