Hi, I installed Shred Moto pegs for my '16 FXDLS, and need a longer rear brake rod to raise the foot brake lever. Right now it is at max level with the stock brake rod, but it needs to be higher. Are there any longer brake rod 1"-1.5" longer rod for '16 Dyna?
Thanks for your help,

 

I have forgotten the size and pitch but this may be just what you need. Don't forget to Loctite the stud and coupler nut.

If all else fails, go buy a 5/8" mild steel rod from a big box store and make one. I had to do that for a forward control brake rod that interfered with an exhaust pipe that was marketed to work with forwards. Wasn't hard to do at all if you have access to a drill, the correct tap, a dremel, and a torch for any bends you might need to do.

 

Yes it can be done with minimal tools but to do correct you will need a lathe and mill and experience.

I bought various sizes, just in-case. hope this will extend my stock rod.
Thank you Blue Bob. Nice bike btw. How did you install radial calipers for that Ness rotor?

 

Excellent you bought stainless! I believe this will look almost factory.

You can easily return the parts to McMaster you don't need.

Caliper mount pretty much a one off I designed.

 

I will have to respectfully disagree that the "correct" way involves a lathe and mill. Pictured below, I don't see why you would use a mill or a lathe to fab this part (unless you want to turn it before bending or cut the end threads with a lathe). Once sanded and painted, it is indistinguishable from the OEM rod, except for the modified geometry. For an extension piece or a new straight rod, sure, go ahead that makes perfect sense.

Regardless, glad the OP got what he needed.

 

Very nice!

 

Thank you for your input as well. Although it seems easy enough to buy a longer 5/8" dia rod and thread them as you have(probably cheaper too), I just followed the simplest solution to extend stock rod with coupling and a threaded rod method. Your method will probably help others who might want alternate solution. Again, I appreciate your help.
