Buell pegs and rear brake

[drhooligan]

I installed the Buell Pegs, much better on the legs but the rear brake foot lever is too high. I adjusted it down slightly but there isn't much room for adjustment. How can I lower my rear brake pedal more?

you have to cut the bolt down. then it can adjust more.

Ranman is correct. The threads at the bottom of the adjuster bolt have 2 machined sides. Cut that area off of the bolt. (approx. 3/16 of an inch). I include this mod with the pegs that I'm selling on this site. Good luck. IF you have further questions prior to doing this,..........email me at jotam2006@yahoo.com with your cell number and I'll call you,........and walk you through it. L8R

AND don't forget to adjust the rear brake switch or your brake light will stay on all the time. Another adjustment I include in my manual with these pegs.

I just cust the end of the adjustment bolt off with a dremel and cutting wheel. Worked perfect. Brake pedal now adjusted and in the correct, comfortable spot for me. This is really a great modification. It works waaaaay better than just cutting the rubber from the stock pegs.

Many thanks for the advice on this mod guys. This web site is phenomenal!

Took a 1 1/2 hour ride with 1 stop and am extremely pleased with this new peg position. My 52 yr old knees aren't sore. Good, Good, Good!
