Peddle to the metal

FM Former Member
Hey gang! First, thanks to everyone who answered my question about seats.... I went with the Vintage Speedsters seats and they look great and were easy to install. Now, for today's challenge... I'm not really thrilled with the gas, brake and clutch peddle set I received from Street Beasts. It's an extremely tight fit in the well and I don't exactly have small feet. Any advice on how to alter or replace? (Allen, I know you answered this question once for me, but I can't find your email.) Looking forward to your ideas... thanks!

Mike,
Replacing the pedals is not the answer, the fuel tank mounting is too close to the top of your toes while on the pedals and SB has the side kick panel glassed to the inside instead of the outside of the 2x4 steel box frame (i.e a 2" loss of room)....the latter is easy to resolve but the tank fitment is a major PITA. Best scenerio would be a custom tank that would allow for the stock mounting position to be raised. I did shortened the pedals on AL Shapiro's SB and he still has issues unless AL is in slippers. ~Alan

I had the same problem too! I changed my Gas Pedal to a Billet Roller Pedal it made a big difference much smaller, lower, great response, and looks awesome. Ebay has some listed too! For my Clutch I bent the Clutch Arm Petal more to the Left. It was a simple fix.

aloha, kawika55
