New Brake Pedal

[rc51ny]

Finally got my new, wider brake pedal installed. Fits my size 15 shoe much better. Thanks to TricLED--great mod!

They are great. I have one on each of my RT's.

Yea, as stupid as this sounds, I'm actually "missed" the brake a couple of times. As I said my size 15 shoe wasn't made for such a small pedal. I feel better about it now

Definitely a mod that should be made standard equipment by BRP... :thumbup:

Does some one have a link for Tricled? Have looked for them before about brake pedal but couldn't find them.

 

[schnauzermom]

Never mind on link.......found it

 

[brrujo]

What is the link? I have always thought this machine needed a larger pedal.

 

[schnauzermom]

This should work.

No, I think it should be left as is.

How about a zero-dollar, "Pick it when you buy the bike" option then? :dontknow:

This should work.

I installed one because on more than one occasion my foot became hung up on the lip where the casting meets the black side panel. I almost rear ended a car because of this. The wider pedal allows me to move my foot away from that just enough and now no more hang ups.

Isn't it difficult to keep from touching or riding the brake? Seems like it sticks-out so far there isn't any place to put your foot but on the pedal -- which we all know can cause you some problems.

Just wondering...

That was my problem too--as I stated above, with size 15 shoes there's a lot of foot to manage! LOL I've had a couple of minor scares where I couldn't connect with the brake properly and almost didn't stop . This seems to help

Does the TRICLED brake pedal just bolt on to the existing arm or is there a new arm that comes with it to bolt onto underneath?

Thanks - I'm a newbee!

The old brake pad just unscrews and the new one goes in its place. About a two minute job. :thumbup:

What size nut???

Got the pedal but can't get the driver on the nut. I have a hard time getting down to see it. Any help will be great.

On my 2012 RT The bolts take a 10 or12 mm socket.

 

[Bob Denman]

I was going to say, "10mm"; it might have been 12... :shocked:

Its a 10mm. Mine was wonderful on my previous '11 but not on the '14 with floorboards. I've tried it twice and taken it off each time.
