moving rear brake

did a search and had trouble finding an answer.

i got a 00 gixxer 750 and since i'm kind of tall and got big *** feet and jacked up ankles, i have trouble using the rear brake on this bike. i want to move the lever about 1" to the right and 1" down to make it easier. any ideas on how to do this without buying rearsets?

a guy on another site told me to heat up the pedal and bend it. any other ideas?

Re: moving rear brake

you can't move it to the right unless you wanna bend it and bending aluminum un-willingly is just a bad idea, best bet is to just figure the **** out on your own cause your gonna be spending alot of time working on it if you plan on stunting. rear brake is easy as cake, just look at how the foot lever is hooked up and just start ajusting it, you can't really do anything wrong. just make sure ur brake works before u leave the garage.

Re: moving rear brake

yeah, i was worried about bending it, i know aluminum fails without warning.

i'll just mess with it and try and figure something out.
