I do have a question on that though, If i disconnect the top line from the front master cylinder do i have to bleed it after i route it around the trees and reattach it   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #72620 ghostrider69 (User) JUST RIDE!!!!

Try to keep the line upright and fill it up before reattaching. When you have it attached, lightly pull the lever about 1/4" and let go. You should see some small air bubble come out of the bore hole in the bottom of the MC. Keep at it until no bubbles come out.

I personally wouldnt move the levers to relieve tension because now you are starting to move them out of comfortable reach/pull, and I wouldnt go any further away than that riser/bar setup without changing your lines..also be cautious of your electrical lines brushing your tank..make sure you zip-tie them up so you dont scuff it up..I now have apes on the same risers in my sigpic but they are the same risers.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/03/30 10:11 By Raider.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #72638 thebru (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 661 Re:Risers 8 Months ago   I have the Baron DT pullbacks. 2" pullback with no rise. They look great and are VERY solid. I re-routed my lines to the front of the triple tree. I didn't want to mess with removing the brake line(or any of the lines) so I removed the wind shield and headlight bucket and slipped everything thru whole. Very easy and clean! I am now waiting for Bulldog Handlebars which are a bit wider and more pullback than stock so I will have to change the brake line when I install them. If your interested I can certainly post you a pic.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
