Bigger brake pedal
      #564901 - 06/17/12 08:31 AM

I have OEM Triumph boards on my BA. The brake pedal is a bit hard to find as it is small and designed for pegs. Does anyone make an oversized (wider) brake pedal?

Our pedals may be smaller than some, but if your not careful you can lock up that rear tire real easy...

I often marvel at the "car-sized" brake pedals on other cruisers....

I don't have the boards, so I can only wonder out loud here, but is there really room for a bigger pedal?

I know others have modified the heel-toe shifter to make more boot room on the left side...

I wanted boards for a year or two or three, then decided I like my pegs just fine.

If I were to get a Rocket III, I like the original, with the pegs on it, too.

The brake pedal, with OEM floor boards could use a brake pedal twice the width of the OEM pedal. It is actually kind of tough to get your foot on the brake pedal as it is pretty close to the engine.

I didn't like the brake pedal and I wanted it to match my iso dually pegs. I put a Kuryakyn 8022 pedal cover on. It makes it a bit bigger...

Rivco makes a similar cover that fits the Rocket III brake pedal. Just looking at pics, that pedal looks to be about the same as the America's pedal and I am wondering if it will fit. I was looking for one wider than the KuryAkyn cover you are using.
