Hi all, I find that the brake pedal on my Classic Electra EFI grounds rather too readily on right hand bends. Tight roundabouts a particular problem, and not only with 'er indoors aboard. Mr. H. Suggests rear set kit. A bit radical for me. Do any of you have any suggestions. By the way being nearer 70 than 60 you can assume that I am no Rossi!!

Check the peddle return stop bolt and that the lever is not too bent.

I have the pedal adjusted as high as possible without clanking on the exhaust. I have managed to get the exhaust system well tucked in to the bike. Obviously you then need to adjust the rear brake adjust nut and the stop lamp switch.
