Hi All,

I've decided that it's time for my Cali EV to receive a little revamp, by which I mean a strip, rebuild, fresh cosmetics and addressing a number of features that I'm not 100% happy with on the bike.

My list includes
  • Handlebars and risers
  • Rear light cluster
  • Saddle
  • Brake pedal
I pretty much know what I'd like to do with the first three but I'd like to solicit input on the last item on the list, the foot brake pedal.

I'm happy enough with the linked brake system so not need to consider delinking the system but I've never really gotten on with the brake pedal arrangement. The easy option would be to replace the footboards with a traditional peg and lever arrangement but I'm more interested in retaining the footboards and moving to a more traditional brake pedal as done by HD.

Has any one undertaken such a conversion and if so what was the approach and how did it work out?
Are there any reasonably straight forward bolt on options available?
Parts from another model that might be suitable?

Thanks,
Martin,
Ireland

There was a pedal available from Advanced Products, but that seems to be no longer available. A good fabricator/welder should be able to fashion something similar.
 
I just redid the rear brake pedal on my cali2 that nub thingy and high pedal made anything other that high speed curves annoying. I used an old Harley pedal cut it off with 4-5 " left on arm from pivot (same diameter as MG)then took other end clamped it where I wanted (just past end of board) cut a piece of flat stock to connect two ends welded it all together ground smooth added black paint and a little return spring fiddling. Now very civilized and comfortable. Well worth the effort.
