 Posted: 11:25 - 10 Jun 2022 Post subject: Fitting pedal extenders |
 |
|
Hi folks
I've recently purchased a set of pedal extenders for my FZS600 to save my knees, I'm 6'2 and find myself a bit too scrunched up when riding the bike - I don't want to change it though as it is a lovely ride.
Problem is I can't get the rear brake pedal to go low enough, I've adjusted the nut on the end of the master cylinder so it's as low as can be - any ideas how I can make the pedal still lower?

Current: Yamaha TDM 900 (Comfy, light but big, power when needed). Also now a Tiger 1050, easily best of the lot! |

Which is exactly what I've done
It kind of works, but now I'm finding my right heel is resting on the exhaust and any change to the peg either puts my foot too close to the brake pedal or higher up and I may as well have kept the original peg on.
I'll need time to get used to it and play about with different positions, but I can't help thinking I might end up putting the originals back on and trying to stuff the seat more to raise my height instead. ____________________ Previous: Aprilia Habana Retro 50cc (beauty), Yamaha SR125 (fell apart), Honda XR125 (nippy little commuter), Honda SLR650 (Geewhizz), Yamaha Diversion 900S (Smoooooth) written off courtesy of a stupid escaped horse.

I'd just drag the angel grinder and welder out
and do a cut and shut on the lever
Bolts/rivets ( black dots ) would be an option
but personally I'd rather weld it
