How to lower the brake pedal more?

[testrider]

Hi all,

I like to lower my brake pedal a little bit more but the upper nut is already

against the rubber boot. Is there a way to lower the pedal more?

Thanks!

Dremel off the shaft that the nut rides on. I cut off about 1/4" or so when I put the Buell pegs on and it allowed the nut to backoff enough to lower the pedal.

Did you cut off the "push rod", the one that pushes the rear brake pistion? I'm not sure how making it shorter will allow the pedal to go lower? Now the nut is as high as it could go. How does cutting the rod help the nut to go higher (so that the pedal will go lower)?

Thanks again.

You could also remove the nut or maybe find a slimmer one. That way you can adjust the clevis even higher.

And Mike suggested cutting down the shaft because it will eventually hit the end of the brake lever if you adjust the clevis as high as you can.

Byrdman....Thanks for clarifying that for me. Sorry I wasn't clearer.
