    Hello,
    Just found this blog. I recently purchased a 2012 Speedmaster with about 3k . Love the ride.
    I have just one concern : The brake pedal is very small and was wondering if anyone has found a way to make it wider and more easy to apply safely ???

    Sorry meant to say you can get covers like used on the Harleys and just drill a hole and fit one helps a little. But you don't need much leverage on that back brake anyway unless it is raining. Your picture mate you may have to reduce the size to upload.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Well you got there and what a great buy for you all black and shiny. The inmates will ogle that picture for ages not black is one of the favourite colours here matches the moods.
    Regards
    Joe.

    O'h yes i see you have the other type of levers so plate is out. Have you looked at the floorboard kit. Or does your lever rubber screw out as you could have a longer one made up to fit there.
    Regards
    Joe.

    Here's to Yah... From Iowa. Enjoy the ride and live every day. If you travel, lots of straight roads in Iowa, and stop in for a brew.
