Cut mine in half, and found a h-d pedal with set screws.

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?


Yes

Thanks for all the help Now all I have to do is decide if I'm gonna change parts or chop it to fit. I appreciate the input.

Bought a Royal Star brake pedal on Ebay for $15. Switched it out for the R*. Same pedal, just not as big. Gave me more room on the R. side floorboard for my big feet.

I was thinking about that also, but I think I'll go with an extended lever instead....moves the pedal farther to the front and out of the way of my foot....

i think thats a soft brake arm. i like that over cutting it down but there is a artical you can read that for pretty cheap you can move the whole assembly forward and get the same thing for about $100 less
