Can't find your brake pedal? Dave may have the answer!

Let 1-million-mile BMW motorcycle rider Dave Swisher tell you the story of his Brake Enhancer:
My youngest son Jim has always rode K bikes
two K75s and one K100LT. His job sent him
out [west]. While out there, he rented a R1100R
Roadster for the weekend. He was so impressed,
he bought a R1100RT when got home and sold the
K100LT.
But he came down here and said dad I have
trouble finding the rear brake pedal, it's so small
compared to the K bike brake pedal. Could I
do some thing about it?
So I made him "The Brake
Enhancer." Then probably a dozen more and I gave them to
friends. Then Bob's BMW bought a couple dozen,
and Morton's did likewise. One size fits all R1100RT,
R1150RT, and K1200 model BMWs.
I can testify that Dave is right on. The "Enhancer" in the photo above, right, is mounted on my own R1150RT. Now I, also, have no trouble finding the brake pedal.

Dave also recommends that you wear a full-face helmet when you ride.
