Can someone post a picture of what the rear brake pedal should look like. I rode mine last weekend and was struggling to find the rear brake mid section. I think it may not be original

Thanks

Hello Petermac. I can remember on the first green Italjets they all broke the rear brake pedal. I think the kickstarts hit them and I think almost all of them ended up with home made ones on them. I see a green one and a green and white one regularly and they both have homemade ones on each of them. Bully Lover.

Some rear pedals:

First from left: original (welded/repaired)

Second from left: broken

Third from left: Late original (just a little bit squezzed)

Fourth from left: modified mounting (working as good as possible)

The problem ist the original mounting/bearing and the less space to the pegs. I had to cut the bolt head of the right peg to get more travel for the pedal.

Another modified pedal, which ist working quite well.

thanks for that, i was thinking of cutting the thickness of the pedal down so it doesnt catch the casing where kickstart is

made one last night, fitted and adjusted tonight, but too late to ride it

I think people used to convert them to left side brake / right side gear change which allows a rod rather than a cable.
