Rear Brake pedal to low!

[Theo]

Using my 12Gs (2006) in off road I'm not be able to find feeling with the rear breake pedal! There is'nt no way to adjust the position, so I'm thinking to fit the 12ADV one!

Some one have already tried this solution?

There is an adjustment bolt on the pedal, and then adjust the push rod that goes into the master cylinder, Unless they've removed the adjustment on 2006 bikes?

Not sure the 12GSA pedal fits--the sensor for the rear brake light and other bits are in a different place. Best bet would be TTech or Wlich.

The '06 1200, which Theo rides, has the sensor 'and other bits' in the same place as the GSA. I think.

I confirm that on the '06 model, the switch is in the same position of the 12adv.
The problem is that in this model there isn't the bolt to adjust the postion!!!

TT or Wund. have good solution to enlarge the pedal but I don't see a new adjustable pedal to replace the original one...

Sounds odd given that the ADV has an adjuster.

I've just fitted a wunderlich brake pedal extender and I find I'm using the back brake a lot more now ( hardly used it over the last two and a bit years cos it was a cow to find even with my size 11s.) I relied on the linked front brake before.

The extender may be a minor solution for me, I find the pedal so far from my foot when I drive standing and extending the pedal width don't solve my problem....
I need to rise the pedal of at last 1 inch.

Maybe Fastway footpegs on the lower setting may help

But lower pegs will reduce clearance when off road ...

Perhaps, as an experiment, before spending cash on an extender, cable tie a small block of wood to the top of the pedal, to see if that helps?

Cable Tie!?!

Far too basic - you want something with a nice Dovetail joint and a couple of brass countersunk fixings

Good idea!! I'll try to make a wood "riser" to fix with a bolt.... Wich kind of wood do you suggest
