Hey guys-
Has anyone out there found a way to make the rear brake work well with a
floorboard setup? My Eldo came with a set of Triple A floorboards
installed. I could stand (all 200 lbs of me) on the rear brake and not even
slow down. If I put the original brake lever on the bike, I can lock up the
rear wheel without even trying. It works great, but I can only get 1/3 of my
foot on the board cos its in the way. I have tried relocating the pivot
point on the pedal and no luck. If anyone has seen a floorboard rear brake
design that works, or has modified one to work, please let me know. Guzzi
on dudes!
