Title: FLH extended brake pedal
Post by: waltcentral on September 10, 2019, 04:05:34 AM
  I have gotten used to using the brake pedal but it would be nice to fee up some space for my big feet on the floorboards. I have checked the interwebs but nowhere found a forward extended reach brake pedal.  I have found a good way to move the floorboards out. Any idea's.

What I've seen in the past is custom mods, cut, weld in an extension. Sorry I can't help with a bolt on fix.

I was able to roll mine forward by shortening the master cyl rod and welding a new stop on the pedal arm. I did not try to extend it.

looks good 76, the V-twin part is cheap enough with my discount though.

I just take that Chevy pickup brake plate and pad off, and use the small square Panhead style brake pad. Works fine and no concern about getting foot trapped.

Yes I don't like the big heavy brake pads, I think they contribute to pivot bushing wear.
