I have big feet and hands. The clutch span is to wide for comfort/best control and I have to twist my foot to be able to get a toe on the rear brake pedal. Which is a right pain in the ass, does not make it a natural thing to do or help control.

The rear brake pedal bugs me the most, it always has on both my Ulys, as I use it for low speed control in traffic. Anyway the need to "think" about twisting my foot to use it does not make for good low speed control. I know some say the rear brake is not needed but if you use it right it does help with lots of things. Anyway I like/need it if I can get it.

This is my new rear brake pedal mod with a std one next to it. It is about 23mm longer and built up with layers of Durall. The foot face is a GRP base with a resin and heavy carbide grit covering. I just tested it and its perfect for me.





This is my clutch span mod. I did this on my 06 Uly and it was fine. Its just a bent/shaped piece of Durall which is then bonded in the space under the clutch switch. It has the required cable adjustment its just the angle of the lever.
