Making the rear brake more accessible

[Misc]

I've never got on with rear brakes on bikes, always found them awkward to use because of the down angle they're at. Is there anyway to raise the brake up so it's a bit higher then the foot rest? Or anything you can buy? Not after rear sets or anything expensive really.

Cheers

I'd imagine it'd be the same on most bikes... but on my bandit 400 if you take the rear master cylinder off the back of the footrest hanger there's a bolt with a lock nut, if you undo the locknut and tighten/loosen the bolt and then tighten the locknut back up this raises/lowers the brake pedal position.

Thank you.

Similar to alun111's bandit, there's an adjuster bolt with a locknut on my Bandit6 too - and a similar setup on my old GPZ500
