#121105 Greeny (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 499 Front brake cabling 3 Years, 4 Months ago   OK....put the Nostalgia bar on last night. Tried to rerun the front brake line under the triple tree, but it won't fit through the forks to save my life! Am I blind, stupid or both? Anyone rerouted this line without having to remove the brake line from the reservoir? My brakes are like me....neither of us like to bleed! It doesn't look bad the way it is, just would look nicer to have it hidden away. Thanks all....greeny   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #121138 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.

Here's the one I finally had to go with. 4"+ over stock. http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=FK003D421 Rich   Logged     2008 Road Star Tricky Air Ride(remote controlled) 6-degree Raked Front-end Ape Hangers w/Internal Throttle & Wiring RoadHouse Dooleys Bunch of chrome Online Album http://www.TampaSVT.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #121158 Greeny (User) Expert Boarder Posts: 499 Re:Front brake cabling 3 Years, 4 Months ago   Actually, I think the length is fine. I'm just wanting to reroute the brake line through the forks. Right now, it's in front of the forks and I want it behind the forks. The reservoir is just a little too big to fit through the forks is my opinion. Again maybe I'm just blind. That SS brake line would look cool though.

Hold the end of the line so you don't loose fluid. *** You won't need to bleed your brake lines at the calipers. There will be air in there, though. 1. Remove the cap and diaphram. 2. Tap on the line about 12" away from the reservoir and press/depress the lever many times. You'll see the bubbles come up inside the reservoir. 3. Once you have good pressure, close it up and you're done. Takes 5 minutes. Hope that helps ya.
