Just finished installing an E-Z Brake extended brake lever on my Freewheeler. Ordered on Monday and had it today. It would have been an easy install except for removing the clevis pin that connects the brake lever and the master cylinder plunger arm. What a pain in the butt. Without removing the exhaust pipe it is very hard to get the cotter pin out and then remove the clevis pin. I ended up dropping the floorboard and unbolting the master cylinder from the frame so I could get some wiggle room to work the clevis pin out past the exhaust pipe but I was able to finally get it out, change the brake lever out and fight the clevis pin and cotter pin back in. Without unbolting the master cylinder from the frame I don't think I would have been able to get the clevis pin past the exhaust pipe. Took over an hour but I got it done. Would have been a 15 minute job if the exhaust pipe wasn't in the way. Much better position with the brake pedal moved forward and down.

photos or it didn't happen. But you should know that. LOL

OK. Here is the photo. Big improvement in comfort over the OEM brake lever. Only problem is it may be too close to the engine guard bar for me to use the soft lowers this winter.
