RE: RoadSmith Comfort Controls

For those of you who might be considering installing Roadsmith's Comfort Controls, here's some additional information you may not be aware of if you also have Wing Boards installed.

I recently removed my floor boards which revealed this additional panel. I had forgotten it was there and thought I'd share this with those considering the Comfort Control option.

Due to the lower placement of the rear brake pedal, Roadsmith has a panel with a flexible rubber bladder that must be installed in your right Wing Board. This allows the bottom of the brake pedal to move slightly below the floor level of the Wing Board. As you'll see in the pictures below, you will have to cut the proper sized hole in your Wing Board to install this panel. I imagine that Roadsmith also provides the template for the proper cut. I had my Comfort Controls installed by the dealer I bought my Trike from so I never went through the instillation process.

I hope this information is helpful.

Thank you for the pictures. I was wondering about the clearance between the brake pedal and the running board. I ordered the panel just in case.

Was thinking though... without the foot pegs you could use a brake arm that doesn't have the curve in it.

You're probably right as to using a straight brake arm. But being that I already have the special panel in place I'll continue to use my present brake arm and extension pedal cover.

I'm not even going to lower it (brake pedal) as I thought I'd want to. Even with the brake pedal lowered a bit, I'd still have to lift my foot off the Wing Board and the amount that it would be lowered wouldn't make much of a difference. At least in this manner leaving the brake pedal in it's current position, if I or a future owner ever wants to put the floor board back, there'll be no further adjustment to be made.
