Default sotail rear brake

just put the ness 3inch forward extensions on and has really improved the comfort ect.
now have one minor problem i cant get full movement of the rear brake lever easily (without really stretching to do so)
does anyone know if you can get a adjustable rod or some other idea
the brake lever could come up a couple of inches plenty of room there
i could get the rod extended or remade just wondered if anything was already available

I don't know of any replacement part.

But as I'm considering this extension kit as well...

How tall are you?
What is your inseam?

Thanks for the info, that is helpful.

I have a 33-34" inseam and I'm 6'0", so hopefully I won't have the same problem.

I just put a 2" extension on my Deuce, and put a 1/4" thick piece of rubber about an inch square in between the foot pad and the lever itself. It is not alot, but enough to help make a difference.
