Somehow that looks so much better than my cheap (and less effective) attempt



Ready for another order?

[barnone]

gobium,
Is there a backlog?
How does the exchange work? You send modified one first and customer sends his/hers back to you?

[gobium]

not taking any more order at the moment.
I got too many requests on brake lever job.
Thank you for your supports

any interest in doing a cut and reweld of a kickstarter lever? with my raceway foot boxes it is missing about 1.5" of travel....

I have the Raceway foot box and no problem kick starting the bike.
Didn't need to modify anything. It clears the foot box with a fraction of an inch to spare.

Did you try removing the kick start lever and rotate it on the shaft splines?
Are you sure it is bottoming out on the foot box?

I could kickstart it, but it was hard as it wouldn't kick a full stroke. About 2" from the bottom of the stroke it hits the footbox. Van fixed it, essentially moving it 2" higher, documented in another thread.

There are no shaft splines on the kickstarter. its fits on one way and there is a wedge pin that holds it on the shaft.

Thats pretty awesome that yours clears... there is another guy on here who has the same issue i do. do you mind sharing a pic of your setup... I'm very curious

The link is in my sig, under Raceway Engine Guard, but here it is again...

Note that the foot box sits below the frame.
You can see the kickstart bump stop on the frame just above the foot box.
I want to say when I installed it I checked and the lever hits the bump stop before the box.
I can confirm when I get home.

I don't want to hijack Van's thread anymore so if you have more foot box Q's ask them in the above link.

Just saw this. I'm chuckling because earlier this past week, I cut the piece of 1 inch box tubing off of my brake pedal because it made my foot position very limited. I spent the time to carefully grind off the welds and then with a triangular file, re-cut the crosshatch pattern on the pedal face. Now, I find that the pedal is poorly placed and understand why the block had been welded on. I had thought that the woman who owned this needed it because her legs were too short.

But the block was ugly. So, I may have to do this mod. But it has to be done so I have the ability to move my feet around. I never realized how much the block limited foot movement until I went to that event last weekend which was an hour+ ride. If I moved my foot forward, it would rest on the pedal and I did not want to ride around with the brake light on.

So, for those who have had this mod, how's the foot room when you take a long ride? Do you find your foot resting on the pedal.

Wish there were more room to put the pad even higher and further forward so it was more like a Harley with floorboards. That would provide lots of foot room and no risk of riding the pedal. I need to look more closely at this and see if I cannot do this. Damn pedal would have to be on the right.
