Title: Tall rider needing foot / control changes, ie angling Footboards, ext controls.
Post by: Washbrook on January 26, 2013, 02:16:19 AM
Has anyone come across a kit to angle up at the front the footboards on the Drifter 1500 to make a more comfortable riding position? Preferably also moving them forward? I've seen the scootworks extended foot brake pedal, does anyone make an extended gear change foot pedal so I can move my feet forward? Or anyone know what other bike's gear change foot pedal fits? If no kit is available.

You might want to look at modifications to the seat before you mess with the foot controls... its usually cheaper and easier.  I don't recall what is available to accomplish the foot control changes - I will have a look and see what I can find.

Thanks. I've ordered a corbin solo seat a few weeks ago,,that may help but probably not enough. If you find anything I would appreciate hearing.

Regards

I ended up with an Indian repop Buddy Pan that I had converted to a solo seat, works sweet
