Really? You can fit your whole foot comfortably on the floorboard? I'm not cracking wise here. It's a legitimate question. What size shoe/boot do you wear?

Most of us can't. That's why they're able to sell us fancy schmancy $180 brake pedals. Or why we buy Drifter pedals. Or try our own shade tree stuff like my mod here. The brake pedal takes up at least 1/4 of the floorboard when in it's stock position unless you have really tiny feet. It's lessened if you spline it up, but then it's difficult to get to.



I rode it again tonight and without making any changes it was more comfortable. Maybe just because I'm getting used to it. I think with the two bends in it, it'll work pretty good. It's not going to take much.
Dan I've been following this thread close, I plan on buying the Drifter pedal soon, not only do I not get to use the whole floorboard I don't like how far back the pedal is. I'm used to where my pedal is on my Vol with my forward contols, I'm not tall but I fell cramped on the Nomad right now, changing a few things for me to help that. Question: I'm getting the black drifter pedal, will the stock pad from the Nomad fit this pedal. Here is the link (btw, I like the black plus it's cheaper :-) http://www.scootworks.com/shop.cgi/p...02005273.16658
