Does anyone else have this problem? My rear brake foot lever sets a good 2 inches (12mm) below my foot. My foot is almost vertical when I press it. I've been looking for a spacer or something to bring it up but I haven't been able to find anything?
Rear brake lever sets too low.

yes yes yes ... exactly my problem... 1st bike ever that its not adjustable. (bl00dy cost engineers)
I've just cut a very thick bit of hydralic hose( the length of the front of the pedal) and then sliced it along its length and slipped it over.
It gives about 7mm but still not ideal for me.
As you say it really needs a good (safe ) spacer.... Jon.

So I'm not the only one.

Don't raise the bridge, lower the river

Fixing this issue was a side benefit of fitting a peg lowering kit, brake pedal to lever height now as you would expect.

Why use your rear brake foot lever ....... I only use my front brake 😉😉😉😉
Just kidding.
This is an issue I haven’t noticed and I have been doing a lot of kilometers on winding roads where you use your brakes a lot.
Next time I will try to find out if this is an issue for me.

I'll have to look into that.
Can you post a link to which kit you bought please. I'm not sure which one to get.

They're the SW-Motech EVO footpegs. Still very happy with them, the extra legroom is welcome.

So does that raise up the surface of contact or just enlarge it?

Are you on a R or GS?
Just wondering if the foot brake pedals are the same?

Same part,
When I look at the clevis attached to the pedal it seems to be ajustable, don't know by how much.

Ihave the R model but this is for every Bmw I think, I only changed the screws too shorts
Being an old KLR owner for a few years, i made a brake pedal riser...
Took an old hockey puck, cut it to the size of the foot pad, drilled a few holes, and zip tied it on.
Looks like ****. Works perfectly! Current and former KLR owners will understand...
Since this is a BMW, this is only a temporary fix for me until the aftermarket catches up to the poor brake pedal design, with NO adjustments...

I adjusted the brake so that it comes on sooner, worked a treat as far as stopping goes (there is loads of adjustment) but , of course, does not raise pedal out the way of rocks.
