i took and replaced the service brake pedal pad, increase the width about 1 1/2 inches. the pedal pad is from the E brake, cost from can am is about 12.00 dollars, you would have to drill new holes, the bolts are self tapping and use locktight. ( do not drill thru the rubber.) :beerchug1:

Do you feel you can get to the brake better with the larger pad? This is a pretty good idea.

Nice one!

I'm going to have to re-evaluate my foot/brake pedal relationship when I go out for a ride this afternoon and see if I want to add this to my mod list.

Last thing I want to happen in a panic stop is "miss" the pedal. Having a larger surface area to brake with can't be a bad thing.

I don't believe I would want to increase the brake pedal size. I personally have a hard time not engaging the brake when shifting my weigth and weighting the inside peg on aggressive right turns. The larger pedal would make this even more of a problem for me. A larger brake pedal may be the perfect solution for others. You have done a very professional lookin mod. :beerchug1:

Exactly my thought! Hard time not hitting the break sometimes. But for people with smaller feet it's probably a great thing and good looking! :thumbs:
