Vortex rearsets brake question
I just installed my vortex rearsets... Question is, I got on the bike and tried to hit the rear brake. It stops, but then it wont release. Like theres no spring or anything to release the pedal. So right now my rear wheel is locked unless I pull up on the pedal with my hand.
Is there something im doing wrong? I know the stock assembly has a spring on it but the vortex doesnt. Am I missing something here?
I feel like Im about to have a /facepalm moment whenever I figure it out lol.

ok the problem is that the bracket that attaches the pedal to the master cylinder is touching the screw that is holding the brake line onto the swing arm. When tighting my rearsets down it is touching and preventing the pedal from moving... hence why Im wondering if im missing spacers or something

Well I bought my f4i wrecked and rebuilt it. I never noticed any frame damage tho. The rearsets that were on it originally were bent inward to the point I was irritated and replaced with all new honda parts. New OEM parts fit great. Once I installed the Vortex ones and tightened down, I realized that my frame (at least where the pegs are) seems to be slightly bent. (Or my vortex are bent). The bracket on the back of the brake pedal was touching the screw that held the bracket for the brake line. So after getting frustrated, I just took a dremel and shaved the bolt down to where it wasnt rubbing. Works for now, Just hope I dont need to remove that brake line anytime soon as a socket wont fit it now LOLOL
