 Just got the bike. The pedal seems to need my foot to be uncomfortably
 close to the engine to operate the pedal. Pedal does not look bent. If it
 turns out that the pedal is fine and it is me who would like it further

 heating will it change the color of the pedal? Would it need re-chroming?
 Thanks.

You can take the brake pedal off the bike and put it in a vice and go to it or 
do it on the bike. If it doesn’t look bent just pry it out a little using a 
length of 1X2 wood. My lift has under it about a dozen pieces of wood of 
different lengths and sizes for all sorts of uses on a bike, particularly handy 
in removing carbs. Graham

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 700s Nighthawk: How far should the rear brake pedal be from the engine.

[Graham Rogers]

I’ve never had trouble bending either brake pedal or gear shifter just
using big pliers of sorts. Never had to heat them up. They bend pretty
easy. You can take the brake pedal off the bike and put it in a vice and go
to it or do it on the bike. If it doesn’t look bent just pry it out a
little using a length of 1X2 wood. My lift has under it about a dozen
pieces of wood of different lengths and sizes for all sorts of uses on a
bike, particularly handy in removing carbs. Graham
