1200 GSA rear brake question (2015 bike)

[Polygon]

Sorry for the daft question but I can't find an answer in the manual. Apologies if this has already been answered but I'm crap at searching.

I've got Wunderlich lowered footpegs and now the rear brake pedal its too high, even with the top part flipped up.

I can't figure out how to lower it. If anyone can explain (or post a link to some pics or video explaining how), I'd be really grateful.

There's an adjustable threaded rod on the back end of the lever, that goes into the piston isn't there?

If it is the same as the GS you cannot adjust the lever, the threaded rod alters the height of the piston in the master cylinder to take up the 'slack' in the lever stroke.

non adjustable,do not mess with the adjuster rod,for what its worth I have the bmw lowered pegs on my w/c gs and don't have a prob with the rear brake lever?

Nuts. I have to lift my foot off the peg to get it onto the lever (long legs mean my shin is at a steeper angle than most, so my foot is flexed back more).

Anyone know of another solution?

I have the Wunderlich lowered pegs too and haven't noticed a problem, however my back brake does seem to have a lot of travel.
