Softbrake Extended Reach Brake Pedal & Brake Lever Changed My Life!

In this video, I install and review two products made by SoftBrake. These two products are absolute game changers when it comes to comfort and safety while riding your motorcycle. I go over the SoftBrake extended reach footbrake, and the SoftBrake reduce reach brake lever. Both of these motorcycle upgrades are easy to install. After you have the reduce reach brake lever and the extended reach footbrake pedal, you're going to wish that you had these years ago! #motorcycle #harleydavidson #motorcycleupgrades #motorcyclesafety #motorcycles #motorcyclelife #motorcycletips #joegoemotorcycleadventures #motorcyclelover #softbrake #harleydavidsonstreetglide #motorcyclemadness #harley

Great video Joe! Very informative and entertaining! A great combination!

[@tomm9493]

Nice video Joe Goe. I was wondering how you think the Softbreak compares with the Kuryakyn break pedals?

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Hey Tom, thank you! I'll be honest, I have not tried the Kuryakyn pedal. I would imagine it is similar. The soft brake is excellent quality. This is my second season with it and still love it. I've rode a couple of my buddies bikes since I've changed mine and it's a very noticeable difference. Thanks for watching brother!

[@HDVIBE]

I am familiar with soft brake. A few guys I ride with have changed to these. The Rear brake pedal seems like a great upgrade. Ride safe brother. 👍👊🇺🇸

[@RidingandWrenching]

That looks cool!

[@Iwanncamp]

@6:45. That’s what he said

[@GlidingOnTwos]

🤘🏾🤘🏾

[@simnevelle]

After taking a course with North Jersey Pro Riders, instructor Mike Grasso advised that the Softbrake would make a difference in my riding experience and I truly can’t thank him enough! The difference in the discomfort I experienced while using the Softbrake as opposed to the stock brake is unbelievable!

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

I was a believer after I installed both. It's amazing the difference. Thank you for your feedback and for watching!

[@About_that_ride]

Hey! Just wondering if you did the lever exchange to your 2023 cvo?

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

I have not. I'm going to check to see if it will work.

[@apm6997]

Are these two products only for Harley’s?

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

To my knowledge, yes. I would shoot softbrake an email to see if it's exclusively for Harley's though.

[@michaelbortz5845]

I've had this on my last 5 bikes. About to order another one.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

They are fantastic!

[@taezillarc]

how did you get the 3 support screws out without them snapping on you?

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

I didn’t have any issues. Maybe someone removed the bolts on yours before and either cross threaded them or used red loctite? Mine were pretty easy to break loose.

[@joshlowe670]

Just wondering if the pedal you installed was the standard length or +1" the placement looks exactly like where i want my pedal to be!

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

It was a +1. If you call them, Rick is extremely knowledgeable.

[@joshlowe670]

Damn, I was hoping it was the standard. I have lowers on my bike, so in order to do a +1 I need spacers and the wide pedal. But I also run ciro floorboard mounted highway pegs, so I would need an additional spacer for that. I'll have to give them a call to see what my options are!

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

@@joshlowe670 yes, I would definitely call them and Rick will be able to take care of you. He is a super knowledgeable!

[@jameswilliams1111]

I did the clutch and the rear brake pedal on my 2020 cvo street glide. It made it easier to do slow operation. The installation was not so bad but alignment of bolts and clutch plunger was a little difficult. Great video

[@michaelroy925]

Is this the same length and angle as the Kuryakan?

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

I’m not sure, I’m not familiar with the Kuryakan version

[@rogershinton7483]

Isn't the little washer needed before the new cotter pin install?

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Nice catch. Yes, you would put the washer on.

[@1986devildog]

Great improvements Brother. I have the rear Soft Brake but I need to get the front brake lever!

[@michaelroy925]

What year Harley is that?

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

It’s a 2017 street glide FLHX

[@josephgalligher1058]

What is the difference between regular and +1, +2, +3 etc….

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

The difference is the length of the actual level. Give them a call, and they will let you know which size will work best for you.

[@josephgalligher1058]

@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventuresthanks!

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

@@josephgalligher1058 no problem!

[@aymanalmadani4663]

Just want to say thank you for a professional and helpful video. I have only seen few and I have noticed that your videos stand out because you put down the size and tools needed clearly in a banner and you put out the parts and screws that need to be removed. Very nice

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

No problem at all. I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad that I could help!

[@JeffMartinez648]

Great info Joe, I have a 99 Electa Glide, cable clutch, don’t know if the clutch would benefit me, what do you think?

[@JeffMartinez648]

@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures I definitely want the foot brake,,, but my hands are good (that’s what she said!) 👍🏼🤣💪🏼

[@NKBobcat]

I just ordered my Softbrake clutch lever and will order the foot brake based on your video. Great job. I subscribed.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Thanks for watching and subscribing brother! You definitely won't be disappointed.

[@philburras6226]

GOOD VIDEO BUT, YOU PUT THE WASHER AT THE BOTTOM OF THE SCREW INSTAED THE TOP WHERE THE COTTER PIN IS LOCATED.

[@philburras6226]

"INSTEAD NOT INSTAED

[@russellivey1186]

Kuryaken makes a rear brake lever that is far superior to Soft Brake. Even has a zerk fitting so you can keep it lubricated. Also, it doesn't extend the reach of the lever, it simply puts the pad closer to the floorboard.

[@MrDynafxdc]

If they made one for a 2021 Fatboy i'd agree with you, but they don't. So soft brake it is.

[@codyRb20S13]

I have a kuryaken and it’s an improvement but with 14 wide boots I wish it was longer and lower even still. If the soft brake is longer than the kuryaken I’m gonna have to try that.

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Never tried Kuryaken. All I know is SoftBrake's version I absolutely love. They make different ones for people that need the extended reach. Not everyone needs it. Appreciate you watching and leaving your feedback!

[@GOEBOT]

Great video!

[@chrishyde377]

you forgot the small washer before the cotter pin

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Yes I did. Good catch!

[@thebellevillebiker]

Nice job Joe!!!

[@Riker-eq2yv]

I think the flat washer should be on the same side as the cotter pin

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

Yeah, I might have messed up. But, it's still working! Good eye!

[@Riker-eq2yv]

@@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures I came across your channel and enjoyed it. After seeing it I may purchase the items you showed and because of your excellent instructions I just may do it myself. I also subscribed to your channel

[@JoeGoeMotorcycleAdventures]

@@Riker-eq2yv I appreciate it brother. Installation isn't bad at all. I'm no mechanic and was able to do it. I appreciate your kind words and subscribing!
