What is the exact purpose of a dead pedal?

OH yeah... it's in. I put the front of it in first, Then sliced the kick with my cutoff wheel and slowly worked it down. Then I bolted the foot plate on.

Some place to rest your foot on long drives. Also used to brace yourself when going thru the twisties.

Rich, That is the nuts! I have been missing a dead pedal but have not found one I like. The mounting location for the K Brown is to close to the seat for me. I love this idea. How much to make on for me? I can probably find the foot, I need the bracket and support? fabricated. Can do? Dennis:D

It's only some flat stock bent in a vise with holes drilled in.
Sure I Mig'd the little bracket on but it's not a big deal. Biggest problem is I took no measurements, just did it by "eyeballing". I had to do a bit of filing on the holes to make up for my lazy eye....
I'd have to take it apart to make another one. PM me.

I'm surprised no one asked about the carriage bolt on the back. I used that to push tight against the carpet and padding to take any flex out of it.
