Rear Brake Pedal

[556ALPHA]

I'm going to try removing that spring to get more feeling in the pedal. I've got Murphs extender pegs, and have moved the brake pedal down pretty much as far a possible.  I still use the rear when stopping, since I ride my '02 as well and without the rear involved, I would never stop! Force of habit

I did the same adjustment and simply could not ride it that way.  I put it back to the stock position and just moved my foot when rear braking.  Eventually I just put the stock pegs back on as I have Ronnie's pegs for extended riding.

What schools did you attend that taught they were interchangeable?

You might want to ask that question of those who have problems with breaks on their cars, who grease the slip yolk on their pickup drive shafts, and who mount a wench on their truck's front bumper.

That wench would be Bambi?

Nothing wrong with mounting a wench on the truck's front bumper, or any other area of the truck for that matter.

Is a wabbit driving the truck?

And that drives me just as crazy.  I don't think my wife would like a wench on the front of my truck.

According to what I've read, the linked brakes don't always activate BOTH brakes in all cases. With the linked brake switch set for standard linked brakes, a light application of the rear brake should not activate the front at all.  However, the front always activates the rear.  With the switch set on the higher combined setting, both always activate together.

(sorry - I forget what the setting is called to switch between linked brake modes... LOL)

  You forgot to mention the rear brake is useless!

I think the stock pads, rated "HH", are simply too grippy to give good feel. Galfer "GG" carbon pads give more feel although they run dirty.  DP sinetered pads "GG" I believe,  are my favorite yet and improve feel a lot.

 Notice how much play the brake pedal and linkage has. Especially the clevis.  In reality, it takes very little pedal movement to lock the brake if you eliminate the play in the linkage.
