    Ok I had a search but could not find anything close, even on google There are plenty of forward controls that give you extended lenght for tall riders.  

     

    I put on a Hypercharger yeasterday and very happy with it.  However it reduces right leg room when using the brake pedal. ( I have to twist my knee to use the pedal). Is there an extended pedal out there that will push the pedal further out from its current position approx 2" I know there are pedal pads that are longer but only 25% which equates to approx 10-15 mm  .  I don't want it to go forward but further out to the right if you can understand what I mean.  Or will I have to manufacture one of my own.  If I go down that road, will inserting and extention to the bush housing affect the braking ability. I suspect that making the bush housing longer will put more pressure on the edges of the bushes and they will wear although I think they are plastic anyway so not so bad to replace.   Or should I adjust the angle and lenght of the pedal arm to give me the clearance.  I have put on Floorboard extentions that push the boards out further so that my feet sit on the boards no problems.  But it is the pedal that is the problem. 

    I hope someone out there with a shit load more knowledge than me has an answer.
