That twisted brake pedal !!!
Hello everyone,
Ever since I took a test-ride, that curved, twisted brake pedal was something I couldn't get my head around. I wonder what the designer was thinking when he made that and what the ergonomic specialist had to say about it. Compared to the regular Street750, this pedal is actually a step back in R&D, I feel.
Been riding my new bike with a variety of boots, and I always need a few minutes to get my right foot into the right position for equal amounts of comfort and quick-braking. It's a little awkward and silly. And then theres the teenie-weenie brake pedal itself. So small it's almost as they don't intend you to use it.
So, has anyone modified that piece of engineering with a regular straight pedal or a thick rubber pad or something ? Does anyone else face ergonomic issues when riding, and braking ?
P.S. : The HD Dealership here is clueless about it. It's a Harley, they say... it will be awkward.
Thanks,
XR
