    Abstract: A pedal extension assembly for attaching to standard existing pedals. In the illustrated embodiment, sleeve bearings supported by a base connector rod are coupled to adjustable support bars which, in turn are pivotally coupled to adjustable extension bars. An extension pedal extends from one end of the extension bar, the opposite end of the adjustable extension bar being coupled via a pedal coupling plate to the standard, manufacturer-installed pedal. When the extension pedal is depressed, the standard pedal is equally depressed with a 1-to-1 displacement between the pedals.
