Hello , nice bars !
Any tips on the brake line ? Did you change the upper brake hose only ? did you remove the tank ?
Sorry guys, I haven't been on the forums for a few days.
As for the brake likes, I replaced everything for the front. Magnum has a two-piece upper line, if I recall correctly. And I also replaced the line from the ABS module to the calipers, with a 1-piece prefabbed line from Magnum as well. All finishes are the Sterling Chromite II.
For the lines themselves, the trick is to keep ABS fluid in the ABS module under the right side over. I drained the master cylinder, and ran the upper line from it to the ABS block. Before connecting it, I used the vacuum bleeder to pull fluid through, to avoid introducing air into the ABS module. Got it secure, and ran the lowers. Keep in mind to check the fluid level in the MC at all times. Gravity will cause it to drain...If you do get some air in there, it's no big deal, just need a dealer to bleed the brakes.
Moose and Mark - Thanks for the compliments. I decided I'll be going with Gerbing heated gloves. With two bikes, it's easier and less expensive to have heated gear than buy and install heated grips twice. On the FLHXSE, the fairing still does a great job moving the wind past my hands - they really don't get cold. On my Heritage Springer, with no fairing or shield, my hand freeze really bad as they just sit in a headwind the whole time. Glad spring/summer is here.
