roller bearing rear brake pedal

[mxdj2003]

i was able to machine out my rear brake pedal to accept 2 roller bearings doing away with the sloppy bronze bushing . i was wondering if anybody would be into this mod i was thinking of offering a '' do it yourself kit '' if theres enough intrest , it would include the bearings spacers and drill bit to convert your brake pedal .

I would. Nice little winter project.

My KTM is like this and it's great. How about using a double row double sealed bearing instead of 2 bearings?

Do you run work in a machine shop? If so we should talk. Several years ago, I designed a new pedal post and Les made up a prototype for me to try. Large separate frame mount (no through bolt) and grease fitting. Well, its still good and on my '07. Les felt it would be too expensive considering the volume of potential sales at the time. Maybe time to think about it again. I would however ask Les if he is interested first as he did spend his time on the one prototype.

Skidad,

The KTM pedal has a much larger dia "hub" area. The ball bearings you are thinking of will not work. I suspect mxdj is using needle bearings.
