I have Kury floorboards instead of OEM pegs. The brake pedal is at the end of the floorboard and about an inch above the floorboard. I'm just curious where others have located their brake pedals. I'm thinking it maybe easier to have the brake pedal even with the floorboard so I could just slide my foot onto the brake pedal when stopping rather than having to lift my foot up and onto the floorboard. Comments are appreciated.

Bill having to lift the front of your foot up to apply the brake gives your foot more leverage. If you just slid it forward then would have to push down there would not be as much. Just my thought. Better leverage better stopping power.

I have the same floorboards and have tried it both ways. Higher is definitely better. When it’s even with the floorboard it’s a bit awkward.
