Default ez brake

Hey all. I just installed the ez brake and love the position it puts it in. I have lowers, so had to go with the 1" extension with a 1" offset, but I couldn't be happier with where the peddle sits. My only complaint is that the feel of the brake is a little off now. It seems soft. I would have actually thought it would be more touchy, but it seems the opposite. Has anyone else found this, or have I got an issue? Any help would be great!

Can you put up a picture of it? Im wanting to get one for my bike too, but not sure of the clearance with the lowers. Thanks

I'll put one up as soon as I can. Just make sure you get the +1W! it should have no trouble clearing your lowers, but the standard +1 will hit them when you apply the brakes.

I just installed mine last week and only noticed the position change of the pedal (much better). I wouldn't think it would change the feel of the it, as the plunger and master cylinder position has not changed.

I didn't think it would, but It really does seem softer. I'll have it checked out. I never mess with brakes other then pad changes.

I have one on mine also and felt the same. I am not a Engineer by no means but I believe the difference in the feel is the design and the shape which re positions your foot making for a completely different amount of pressure to apply the brakes.
Not a very good picture but hope you can see it us1Fountain
