83 brake stay arm

Hello,

On an 83 CR 250 , has anyone tried mounting, the brake stay arm, in the lower hole of the frame bracket, and placed the brake pedal mounting bolt, in the upper hole? This should allow the brake pedal, to have more travel, before it hits the frame.

With the brake pedal, in the upper hole, it also places the brake rod pivot point, closer to the swingarm bolt. With the brake stay arm, in the lower hole, the brake stay arm, is now more parallel, to the swingarm.

However, does anything interfere, when the swingarm is in the fully compressed position?

Hi Bob,

I looked at that, on my 83 CR the bolts are different sizes, 6mm for the brake rod and 8mm I think for the brake pedal. i run an exhaust spring from the brake pedal to the top chain roller mount so it feels more like a modern bike. I must admit i can't remember a lot of movement in the brake pedal, I have never had it hit the frame.

I don't know if mine is a lttle bit out of shape but i can't use one of the bolts in the swingarm chain slider as it fouls the brake arm bracket. I assume it is because the frame has been tweaked at some time over the last 27 years ?
