Question Larger brake pedal

Hi, can anyone tell me if it is possible to fit a larger (longer) brake pedal?
My knee hits the air filter and using the brake is uncomfortable.

Regards

I run the fat boy - heritage pedal. I believe it is wider than the stock sport glide pedal.

this with the big pedal is what I run . I have the fuel moto’s BMF filter and barely hit the filter. A little bit when braking.

Thanks everyone.
I assume the rubber pedal cover needs to be cut off
then the pedal unbolts?

I am talking about replacing the complete brake lever.

Replacing a brake lever on forward controls is super easy, and not that expensive. Durham's suggestion is a great idea, except for someone who has smaller feet. I had issues with the stock pedal, and switched to a SoftBrake extended brake pedal lever, standard length. In mens boots I have just under size 8 feet, size 9.5 womens boots.
Fantastic swap, and 100% resolved my rear brake operation issues. It was 110$.
