Default Took Just 2 hours...gas pedal

Well in its first 2 hours of riding last night I found myself really hating the gas pedal setup so after reading some stuff on here and seeing different ideas to fix it I came up with this deal today, was pretty painless to make and I'll try it out over the weekend. For me, I hated the location of the pedal, was killing my ankle when I was moving slow and not being able to rest my foot against the tunnel.

I kinda wonder if these extensions will cause the pedal to wear faster due to all the side stress. Why not make a small box and bolt it to the side of the existing doghouse.

Why is the extension closer to the floor than the actual gas pedal? Can you even give it full throttle with that setup?

Cause for me, the stock pedal is to high, kills my ankle when I'm gonna slow, guess its the angle of it, at full throttle its still 1/2 inch off the floor, took my son for a ride after work and so far so good.

I am telling you guys the reason your ankles are killing you is because that you dont have anything to rest it on and you are trying to use your whole leg to keep from hitting the gas pedal when in the rough stuff, and trying to bend your ankle at the same time. Talk to Cavi and Rutcutter they are both running the Radx Pedal Solution and love it. Trust Me it works Well. I am not a short person and I moved the seat forward 3 inches for my wife to reach the pedal better and they love the modification and it was so simple to make and put on. 2 self taping screws and your done. No drilling.

Well I got about 3 hours riding in today, also my wife and daughter drove it too and we all used the new pedal, its working much better, still touchy, my try a stiffer spring for that but, the pedal works much better and no pain in the ankle.
