I know the answer to this has been posted before, but I couldn't find it.

I just put Lightning footpegs on my Firebolt and now the foot controls are too high and at the wrong angle for my feet. I successfully adjusted the shifter lever, but couldn't figure out how to adjust the rear brake lever. I want to make it so it's more angled down to fit the lower position of my right foot.

Anyone know how to adjust this lever?

Thanks.

hi the rod coming out of the master cylinder is threaded, just undo the locknut above the clevis fork where it attaches to the pedal and adjust away Terry

Thanks Terry. That clevis fork is really stuck in there. How do you get the pin out? There's a piece of wire around it that locks the pin in. I can't seem to get that out.
