I have a 2006 1800 and really do not like the stock foot pegs so I went with some Kury floorboards but now I can't get the brake pedal adjusted, it is either to high or to low and now when coming to a stop it feels like I having been riding for a week and not 40 years! Is there anything out there that puts everything at a good angle so I can get back to making smooth stops. Thanks

Re: foot pegs/brake problem
You could try adding the Kury brake pad cover. It should give you the added lift to the pedal.

Or the replacement Kury brake arm. I added just the cover and it gave me an extra 1/2 inch, whereas, adjusting the pedal was an inch at a time. I took the floorboards back off though, as my legs are too short for them.cihilb wrote:You could try adding the Kury brake pad cover. It should give you the added lift to the pedal.

Heres what I have on mine. Unfortunately I have a size 15 foot so the stock pedal isnt what I need it to be. This slides over and has a couple of set screws to lock it in place plus it brings the height up about a 1/2 in making it perfect for me.

Re: foot pegs/brake problem
No9t sure how you adjusted brake pedal so excuse my idea if you've tried it. The brake pedal is on a spline shaft, so loosening the screw and pulling it off will allow one to re-align it differently on the shaft so you can adjust it up or down as needed.
