rear brake location adj. after 3" ext.
I put the 3" fwd. control ext. kit on today & took it for a quick spin. All feels good except the rear brake. Not because of bleeding them, just the location. I would like to adjust it so the pedal is rotated back. On my sportbikes you could take the brake and clutch peg/arm off & adjust them how you wanted them because the were splined. Is there any way to make that type of adjustment, am I blind, or am I SOL?

What model is your bike? On mine, you loosed the nut on the pushrod, you take the pin out of the pushrod on the bottom of the pedal and turn the pushrod until it's at the required length. It might take a couple of tries to get it at the right height.

Understand your dilemma. I too have the three inch extensions. The problem is with the master cylinder and pedal assembly being essentially a single operating unit, the pedal height is non-adjustable. Some solutions I've seen and heard are:
1. Using an aftermarket pedal lever
2. Using a custom (thicker) pedal pad - this I've seen done by shimming the pedal pad out higher
3. Bending the pedal lever (true story)
4. Using thicker sole shoes
5. In my case, I just got used to it.
