Hey Guys, I bought a set of MCL lower foot peg adapters for my Gen III FJR and love the feel of being able to stretch out my 36" inseam legs

however i found the RH side peg actually moved out quite a bit as well as down, this is causing me a problem reaching the brake lever, i have to twist my foot in a lot in the front to reach the brake now, is there any wider or offset brake lever I can buy or a Mod I can do to fix this? thanks in advance.

I took mine off and put in my press and gently bent it out where I needed it. Aluminum bends easy the first time but does work harden quickly so get it where you need it the first time

 
I've actually done this mod to my SV and FJR and found that braking "pigeon toed" comes second nature after a couple of days.

Same with the shifter

 
After I lowered my lever, I had no problem hitting the brakes. As natural as it was when everything was stock once I found the right notch.
