[QUOTE="D-50Dave, post: 214555, member: 4936"] I've posted all of this before, buried in other threads. Thought I would consolidate them here. I wanted to pass along a mod that was buried in the bike when I bought it in October 1989. It came with the Markland floor boards and the brake pedal was in the perfect position for them. I remember a while ago, another member mentioned that there was substantial interference with the pedal and floor boards when he went to install it, but I didn't give it much thought at the time. When I ordered a rebuild kit from BrakeCrafters, the rod was an inch shorter the the rod that came out. I got on the phone with a very helpful gentleman, with a british accent, who dug around and found that the rebuild kit for a 1987-88 Yamha FZR1000 had the rod that was on my bike.
