Downsizing the rear brake foot pedal?? 11 Months, 1 Week ago
|
|
|
Has anybody ever chopped the wide foot pedal in half or shortened it enough to use a shorter after market pedal? I think I could lose about half of this thing, and still not have trouble finding it in a hurry.
Its been awhile, but I was thinking the pedal on my HD was about half this size.

Did it on my 03', Cut the pedal in half as well as the rubber. Tried to glue the halves together but didn't quite work. Supposedly the cover from a V-Star will work also. Know what you mean though.

Saw in another thread some where that you could shorten it and use the rubber pad from a V Star 1100. At least I think it was the 1100. Maybe someone else remembers. I wouldn't mind my pedal being smaller too.

Cut mine just about in half and used a Honda Aero brake pad cover that uses set screws to attach. Looks good and more inmportantly, is a lot smaller. Best pic I can find.

Maybe a better look. Nevermind pics are too damn small.

It wasn't really bothering me(much), until this last weekend when I moved the furniture around on the highway bar. I moved the highway pegs down further from where the PO had them, with hopes of resting my heel on the board, and the sole of my shoe on the peg. The brake pedal moves my foot out to far. If I set my heel on the peg, it ends up resting on the end of the brake pedal.
I'll check out the V-Star pad next time I see one. Thanks.

the brake pedal from and 1100 will fit the R*. saves cutting it down and then you know the new pad fits.

If I understand correctly, Yamaha uses the same lever and spring loaded pivot on both the 1100, and the RS, but just different size pedals? Yes?
