i was also able to source out some metric articulating joints they are similar to what a KTM use to connect the master cylinder to the brake pedal ,that combined with the roller bearing pedal would would eliminate all the slop in the rear brake. ill take some pics with it on the bike when the articulating joints get here

Looks like there might be some weak spots in the pedal assembly from the machining to fit the roller bearings.
If you use the needle type bearing there will be more meat around the bearing.

I agree with Girard. I thought about this awhile ago and abandoned it for this reason. What makes the KTM design nice is the sealed bearings stay in good shape and the pedal pivot does not get sloppy. What does wear are the heim joints though.

The stock GG pedal has little machining on the sides and the o-rings do not seal well. I think you would be better off with a tighter fitting bushing or needle bearing, better sealing, and greasable pivot. Another thing to consider is that a brake pedal is a vulnerable and somewhat consumable part. You don't want to put too much custom work into something you may snap off at any time.

Looks pretty close to the Hammer head brake pedal
