Brake pedal travel

Is there a way to adjust the amount of travel in the brake pedal? Or is it just a case of bleeding the brake line and changing the pads. The pads have enough meat on them brake fluid level is fine, I’d just like less travel on them unless that what they are like on the DT. My foot ends up and a 45 degree angle downwards to fully press it.
Cheers

Isn't there a nut between the U-shaped bracket and the piston pin, which allows you to adjust the length of travel on the brake pedal???

As @NINJA said it's just below the master cylinder it's a 11mm adjuster nut and 12mm lock nut, loosen lock nut and adjust so the pedal rests just below the top of the footpeg, about half inch. Though if there is too much travel in the pedal it's probably air in the system and needs bleeding.

Thanks for the response going to try and bleed it as brake pedal looks like it’s in the right position already so I don’t think I’ll be able to adjust it any more annoyingly

I like to buy high quality stuff. I like premium. But I'll admit, it does the job pretty well at such a cheap price.
I bought a Hydrualic Crimping tool for a similar price too. And the weight of this thing. Beasty!
