I know this is an older post but I just wanted to add that I have the same problem with the brake lever. I adjusted it to where the front of the brake lever is as low as possible in relation to the footpeg and it is still not low enough for me. I'm 6' 3" tall and when I sit down on the bike up close to the tank, my toes point almost straight at the ground so there is no way possible to use the back brake without lifting my foot completely off the peg. While standing in the "attack" position up on the bike with my shoulders over the bars, it is still uncomfortable to raise my toe high enough to sit atop the brake lever while keeping the arch of my foot on the peg and almost not possible in riding boots. I have to push my hips back over the rear of the seat/rear fender with my knees locked to get my toe high enough to rest over the brake lever without actually applying the brakes. Therefore, no riding wheelies for me as I cant "cover" the rear brake in a comfortable and in-control position on the bike. Hopefully this helps some of you understand what streetsweeper is referring to. I knew exactly what he was talking about because I deal with the same thing. There is not enough adjustment in the lever to cure this problem for me. I personally just deal with it but would be very happy if there was a resolution to this problem.
