Subject: Too tall


Hi

I've a slightly unusual challenge with my '97 RD07 Africa Twin which arises
from the fact that I'm 2m (6' 6")tall....

I find the pedals (gear lever, rear brake) are too high to be comfortable. 
For the gear lever this is easy to adjust by resiting the lever on the
spline, and thus means my ankle is at a less acute angle.  However I havn't
worked out how to make the 'toe' end of the rear brake lever lower.  There
seems to be adjustment on the rod that goes into the hydraulics, but do I
need a special tool to adjust the lower nut i.e. the one inside the bracket
that connects the lever to the rod?

Has anyone attempted this before?  Unfortunately, I'm no engineer.....
