Hey it seems that I don't always feel comfortable w/ the foot brake lever. Some corners I feel that I can't reach it. So that makes me not use it & my cornering isn't as tight as I want to be. My riding style is GNCC & Fast. Anybody made changes to there quad like this? Suggestions?

Baldwin Motorsports makes a Rear Brake Pedal Foot Re-positioning Extension. I really don't know much about it. I just saw it on their web site.

I know IMS makes rear brake levers. Don't know if the location of the lever is different though

somebody said they were able to bend theirs outwards.....the problem is it is too close to the inside

bending it outwards wouldnt help me any, since my problems are because im short.

well if its to far down for you to reach it all you do is take it off then put it back on but at a hight angle, kinda hard to explain, go take it off and you will see what i mean

well i have that same problem....sometimes my foot is pointed to far outward when im making left turns and i kinda get screwed up. But i think its something u just get used to and work with. But i would really like to find out what that baldwin extender is all about.

Pro Armor makes a really nice brake lever. It is a lot stonger than stock and I have been vert happy with the positioning.

I have the IMS but it isn't any easier to reach. The Baldwin extender mounts to the stock brake pedal. I'd like to try one.

I have seen someone with a rear brake lever on their handlebars (rt side), the guy swore by it!
I would imagine once you got used to it, it would fix your problem.
