Brake Pedal Too Low...

[stepper]

Hey there guys and gals,

I was just wondering if anybody has found a good (easy) way to extend the height of the brake pedal.

The brake pedal on my CA77 feels awkwardly low and I unfortunately cannot get it any higher as the exhaust downpipe is in the way.

Thanks for any help!

Is there any chance that the pedal has been bent at some point?

A couple of photos might help if you can provide? Is it possible that you have the rear brake, the linkage and the pedal adjusted incorrectly - it is a tricky set-up?

On my C72, the rear brake is well clear of the header pipe and the upper stop position of the brake pedal is defined by the frames foot-peg mounting bar (No. 11 below). All this means that a reasonable amount of preload is needed on the 2 springs that make up the entire assembly.

When this is all right, the position of an undamaged brake pedal is very comfortable.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys for the help.
As it turns out I think the lever itself is set up correctly at the correct height.
I think the problem was that I had the "play" amount set too low with about 2 inches of travel.
After setting rear nut for a 1 inch play everything is feeling much more comfortable and confidence inspiring.
