Just wondering if it is possible to raise the rear brake pedal on the F800GS as it seems abnormally low for use when sitting on the bike? Sorry if this has been covered before but I failed to find it in the search.
Can rear brake pedal be adjusted?

I agree especially with lowered pegs from Wunderlich using original rubbers. I have thought about fabricating a small piece to place between the original pedal and TT brake level extension,. Might get to that tomorrow.

Touratech do a brake lever extension for £23, mine's on order.

I removed the footpeg rubbers and added a TT extension. Without the rubbers the rear brake foot lever is almost on the same level. It is also more comfortable for your feet without the rubbers.

I've always kept my rubbers on as I thought it was more comfortable when getting the revs up (this is not a porn site is it?). I'll try a ride tomorrow without rubbers but what you say makes a lot of sense as I guess it makes a half inch difference (must be aporn site).

It was noticeably vibey at first but after a while you don't notice. I did 5500 miles around Europe without my rubbers on and had a great time
porn site... dunno what you mean

We did it on my mates 800GS after fitting a folding brake lever.
Just adjust the nut (or nuts - there may be a locking one as well, can't remember) on the rod as it goes into the rubber (anyone mention a porn site?).

Whatever you do don't adjust the length of the rod 'tween brake lever and master cylinder to adjust brake pedal height
There must be a small amount of free play between the rod and the master cylinder piston otherwise the piston might not return fully... causing the pads to bind on the disc
