Brakes on the CUSE

(1/2) > >>

WVULTRA:
Have a good friend that owns an '06 CUSE.  Put a few hundred miles on it recently, and immediately noticed how positive/firm the brakes feel at the lever/pedal.

Realize the CUSE's have the SS/braided brake lines, and feel this is greatly contributing to the improved performance of the braking system as compared to my '07 Ultra.  Have noticed the front 3-piece brake lines on bud's CUSE, but didn't pay any attention to see if the rear was also SS/braided.  Do the CUSE actually have a ss/braided linee on the rear?

Have noticed Goodridge has a replacement rear brake line for late FLHT models that appears to be flexible the entire length vs. the stock which uses a solid front pipe to the brake switch then a flexible section to the caliper.

Any comments/recommendations appreciated!

Thanks,

Ben

The stock rear is solid to the tee at the brake light switch, then rubber from there to the caliper. And yes Goodridge has a SS replacement. So does PM if you're using their caliper.

So, does MoCo avoid putting an ss line on the rear since it's barely visible; or does the solid/rubber stock combination out-perform a full length ss?

Thanks for the reply.

Definitely the first one WV. They cheap out behind the saddlebags! In many areas! ;)

SOP for the "hidden areas"!  No bling if ya' can't see it!   ;)

One of my winter projects will definitely be upgrading to the ss front lines.  A very respected tech also recommends upgrading the rear.  Just wasn't sure if the full length ss line would outperform the solid/flexible factory line.  Not really concerned about bling on the rear, just want that improved braking that seems to be a given with ss lines.
