Apopka, FL | VMC member, "I DONT CARE" (aka: John Webb) has assembled a backing/mounting plate under a Kuryakyn brake pad. His design is solid and is an EASY install. If any find their brake pedal too small (most Vision riders), he has the solution and for only $49, it is a bargain! He sends it with a SS bolt already too. Check out my BEFORE & AFTERS below. Thanks John for solving the riddle of how to find the Vision brake pedal! He also has pedals for most of the lesser Victory bikes! LOL!

Orlando, FL | Funny, I've never been dis-satisfied with the Visions brake pedal. Having ridden crotch rockets for years I don't expect or need a large pedal. HD started that trend to give the impression of a "manly" brake. First, you should use your front brake most of the time. I only use my rear brake about 20% of the time at most. THe couple of times I've had to make a "panic" stop I've not had an issue using both brakes. |

Anderson, IN (48mi NE of downtown Indianapolis) | Even though that brake pedel does look good and fits the Vision, I prefer the small stock one. My toes get snagged on bigger pads in a panic stop situation. I suppose if the Vision came stock with a pad I would just make myself get used to it. |

New Bohemia, VA | I've used mine for 4 year now without issue, but I still want to change to a pedal. I got the pedal part, just don't have the mounting hardware to change it out. Maybe one day if I quit riding long enough I might do something. |

Chesterfield, VA | I really like the pedal, and actually bought this one a year or so ago and had it moved over to my new Vision. I always felt like I was pigeoned toed when trying to brake with the stock peg. I guess it's all what you are use to and comfortable with...I also prefer a heel toe shifter and have had that on both my Visions. |

| Oem works fine for my size 13s. I think my foot would get caught at the wrong time. It sure does look good. |

I'd like to see what you've done Bill. Are you going to Victory of S. Md on the 10th? |

Works good for my size 15 boots as well. |

| I have the Kuryakyn replacement ones on both the shifter and brake side and have not had any issues with finding the brake pedal when I need it...But, as said above, if it works for you use it.....Brakes are critical...... |

| PLEASE PLEASE if your going to use the Kuryakyn brake pedal sand the center pad slot or scratch and clean it really good before placing rubber in place.
Kuryakyn has had this part for years and the center rubber pad does not hold all that good and will come off. As far as I know they do not have a replacement rubber. Its a very nice looking pedal.
