parking brake pedal upgrade -- options?

mud32768 · Aug 3, 2020

Many of us put upgraded controls -- easy stuff like grips, shift knobs, brake pedal, etc.

I have been having a hard time finding options for upgrading the parking brake pedal on my Freewheeler .. which I assume is the same as the Tri-Glide in this regard. The black rubber pedal isn't cutting it next to the rest of the controls ...

Has anyone found any good options? Seems like RIVCO has a nice option and is reasonably priced at $12.95. Guess I was just wondering if there was something I was missing .. like the same pedal being used for the rear brake pedal as the parking brake? It doesn't look like it though ...

Thanks everyone

My wife asked about this the other day. Perfect addition to all of the other foot controls.

So Jack forgive me for asking as I'm sure you have checked this out . . . but I notice the pad you referenced (of which I have the grips and rear brake pedal) has a stud and nut to secure it to the pedal. I've not removed the oem cover on my parking brake but want to verify that the pedal does have a hole so this pad can be used. Thanks much.

Jerry, I bought the "Edge Cut" pad for my 20. There is a hole for the mounting screw

HD makes touring pedals basically in two sizes, big and small ... the small ones fit the parking brake.

I opted for the Kuryakyn ISO Longhorn pedal.

This is so true.

Ive upgraded so many things and never given this a second thought. Your thread will now cost me about £50 haha. The search has began.

I am still waiting for the brake pedal and passenger floorboards ordered in August.

Me too. Ordered the chrome & rubber pad (42476-95) in August and still on backorder from H-D. Got a list of dealers from HD Net who supposedly have it in stock but no joy. This Covid and their new CEO's direction seems to be playing havoc with parts availability. That is one thing I always admired about H-D. I have ordered 000s of parts over the years and never encountered delays like this. In fact it was very unusual for any part to be on backorder and those few that were resolved quickly. No so much anymore sadly.

RIVCO worked

I ended up going with the RIVCO option. HD025-TG fits both Tri-Glide and Freewheeler and despite it saying fitment was 2014, it fit on my 2020 perfectly. Looks great with a bright chrome theme. Well built, sturdy, and surprisingly inexpensive.

The brake pedal cover I ordered in August came in last month. Now complete with all chrome and rubber footboards and pedals.

I am going the opposite direction and removing the mechanical brake completely and attempting to convert it to an electically operated parking brake !!!
