When I've been out off roading, rocks and mud have me over time and time again. While I'm learning and using the bike.
On three occasions now I've dropped the bike on the right hand side (not fast, just topple overs) and ANY forward momentum has bent the brake pedal backwards. It's a pain in the ass as I get home remove the pedal and bash the b'Jezus out of it to get it straight again...
I've seen lots of off-road YouTube Africa Twin riders all doing the same thing, and bending the brake pedal backwards...
It happens so easily, and so often, I now carry a spare brake pedal !!
Anyways, on my last ride-out it happened again, so I bought a Zeta Trigger Lever. It supposedly has better alloy and a deflector spring loaded base.
So whether this will :-
a) Work as intended and be a good investment
b) Just snap off completely leaving me with no pedal at all
c) Have absolutely no effect whatsoever....
I don't know
