RT (and Maybe Others) Brake Pedals

[Cruzr Joe]

RefinedCycle.com pedal for the RT

Ok, so here it is installed on my RT Limited

Install = very simple

Looks = 50/50

if you are used to the standard pedal, there is no difference on the standard space except it is not rubber, it is diamond plate ???

The extended part does not leave you much room for stopping from the floorboards, all you can use is your toes.

it is shaped in such a way as it will not touch or interfere with the factory floorboards.

Not comfortable using it from the NBV highway pegs with my heel.

See photo below

I think this was a good idea but not contoured right.

SO, I tried a different approach with the same piece, see photo below.

I used a 3/4 inch aluminum spacer between the factory brake and the new pedal. (on the high side)

it will not touch the Factory floorboards (they will give long before it reaches the floorboard).

i put a strip of reflective rough stair step material on it.

No change except a little higher than original pedal when using from Factory floorboards.

I now can use my heel for braking when on the NBV Highway Pegs (which i use about 95% of the time).

When i get some time i will try it out and report back.

Any Thoughts?? (OH NO, I JUST OPENED A CAN OF WORMS)

When there is a need mother nature/someone will supply the solution. Seems a smart solution to your issue.

Makes a lot more sense to me than the intended configuration. Your installation I would consider.

simple to install ..... okay

looks, 50/50..... ? I wouldn't get too excited about THAT aspect, maybe 10up and 90down?

in the eye of the beholder and all that. No exciting woman ever asked to check out my brake pedal, so....

Hi Joe,
I'm glad that it looks as if it'll give you better access to the brakes from up on the highway pegs! :thumbup:

Nicely done...

Looks like it will give you better control. Is it high enough to not bottom out on the floor boards..? No diamond plate for you...:roflblack:

Yes, once i put that 3/4" aluminum spacer under the pedal it brought it up to 3 inch clearance
