rear brake mods on 954

i have a 2002 954 , its my second bike i had a 954 back in 2002 only kept it for a season,afraid i was gunna kill myself.Back into it now practicing wheelies again. Im ok at power wheelies first and second,want to start clutching them. From what i read one should always be ready with rear brake as not to loop it but its not a natural/ comfortable position to have foot on rear brake, i kinda have to twist my ankle so my foot is straight and above brake. Anybody else have this problem? i adjusted lever so it hangs a little lower to fit me better but lower and outboard would be ideal. does anybody make something for this? or has anybody modified theirs? thanks for helpin a newbie out

Re: rear brake mods on 954

I just got use to it I guess. I looped once at 55mph...that was alot more uncomfortable than your foot position. Good luck in your search for a mod. Just don't have it stick out too far...you don't want to hit a peg in the twisties and have the back tire hop and break free.

Later,

Blade

The above isn't fun........

You may want to try racing rear sets, they are higher and back more. You can then drop your lever and not worry about it.

It'l cost you though.....

If it were me, I would just bend it a bit with a torch and adjust it to your liking.
