Default How to ajust brake peddle up ?

I am wondering how difficult is it to ajust the break peddle up ?
Recently i lowerd my 2008 FLHRC and raised the floorboards up to the next setting.

My foot now will not quite slide under the peddle . So i need to ajust the peddle up 1/4" to 1/2" .

The shifter is no problem plenty of room.

Ok, I went and looked, looks like you might have to cut and weld it..

Have you considered:
Highway pegs?
Floorboard extenders?
Extended length brake lever?

There you go. May be that the extended length brake lever might be the ticket.

I couldn't find any way to adjust mine. Wound up replacing the stock brake arm, which is just rediculously angled in my opinion.

Cut and weld, then it'll be exactly where you want it.
