Riding the Brake Lever

[White Dog_imp]

Oh no, beating on it is not advised. Something that will give you good leverage (like my pipe wrench) that you can slowly bend that sucker over. If you have a good sized bench with a massive vise (I don't) you could remove the pedal and attempt to modify its' shape in the vise. Perhaps a length of steel pipe - but the front wheel would get in the way. As well as the frame and motor.

But no beating, no torches.

I never did price out a new lever.

With my non-mechanical apptitude it would just be my luck I would pop that sucker in half. Unless I find a longer footpeg or a way to build it up, I'll get my welder friend to add an extension, then paint it with chrome paint. Function means more than cosmetics.
