Someone else I met got it last week from Chester HD in the UK right away. So if you are waiting and want to get it soon before it gets nice out again…might be worth checking those places or others in Europe and get it sooner and not have to see the 17 weeks back order notice on the HD site never change week after week.

I'm waiting on a rear brake pedal since Septe.bwr last year now and still nothing.

I changed mine out on my ‘18 FLFBS for a Softbreak Brake Lever at the advice of @FranBunnyFFXII based on her experience. Have to say it made it more comfortable and better/easier to use. Easy swap out and worth the money to upgrade.

They are in California. I know you are over across the pond…but you’ll get it faster from them…and it’s puts the pedal in a better place.

Seems like a steal, once I need tires I’ll do mine.

Might be a while before they get installed, or maybe a few days. Dr says that I can't ride for 4 months. Had Arthritis Thumb Surgery where they remove a bone and use a tendon in place of it.

V&H Pro Pipes for my 18' Fatboy showed up while I was having surgery. Later that night ijust couldn't wait to open the box.
