Tarkus Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Hey, I purchased a used 2007 model about six months ago. The rear brake pedal does not appear to be bent… there is a nice graceful curve that looks correct. However, it does seem to be very close in to the bike. I have attached a picture – how does this compare with yours? - jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Mohawk Posted September 27, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted September 27, 2021 Looks bent in to me, has it been down on right side ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Captain 80s Posted September 27, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted September 27, 2021 Looks bent and un-Honda like. The pedal area is usually pretty perpendicular to the bike on Honda levers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimC Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 That definitely looks bent in to me. The pedal should be pretty much perpendicular to the side of the bike. The way that is, I'm surprised you can get much pressure on it for braking. My old VFR's brake pedal looked similar to this after I dropped it on its right side once, before I installed R&G frame sliders. To fix it I positioned a metal plate between the bike and the pedal arm, heated up the arm with a propane torch, and gently bent the arm back to its original shape. (The plate was to keep anything else on the bike from heating up while I used the torch on the arm.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer BusyLittleShop Posted September 27, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted September 27, 2021 Aluminum will bend many times before it breaks... First apply heat like from a propane torch... a good sign its getting hot enough to bend is when spit sizzles around 212F... Employ either a long handle wrench or tube to leverage the bend back to normal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this picture might give you a better idea of the pedal angle. From my 8gen however its the same pedal used on the 6gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer boOZZIE Posted October 1, 2021 Member Contributer Share Posted October 1, 2021 No feeler gauge on the peg. Maybe bent on purpose to get to 60° 😝 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
