OH NO! Did I just cook my rear disk!?

If you look at the photo where the edge of the disc is visible, you can see the edge is a grey colour. Originally it was painted black. Smile Cooked right off (and in your case, things went a bit over board).

The main cause seems to be over sized Sidi adventure boots. Wearing my Tour Master boots does not lend its' self to riding the brake pedal. But I like the Sidi's much better so I took a big pipe wrench and bent the brake pedal in a few degrees (in my ever so humble opinion Angel I think it sticks out too much, much more than my other two bikes which does not help matters). Since I bent the pedal in this has not been a problem at all.

BIG FOOT found!

You were on the right track, Rboe. Thumbs Up My Aerostich Combat Touring boots (made by Sidi) were the ones I had on when I found myself OVER covering the brake pedal.

Today I caught BIG FOOT red handed... as I was exiting the freeway I was working my way through some heavy mall traffic when I pulled in the clutch to downshift the bike lunged forward... your guessed it, I had my foot on the brake pedal applying pressure to the brakes without realizing it.

When I got home I adjusted the rear brake pedal position as low as it would go. After a quick test ride I could tell right away I liked the new position better, and hopefully BIG FOOT will not return.

Oh, and I have some Alpinestar touring boots that I'll wear from now on when I take the CB1100 out. Biker
