That looks sweeeeeeeeet.I had to put my shades on because all that bling was blinding. 
Did you get the braided rear brake line from Hogpro or directly from PM?
HD...got the brake line through HogPro, but had looked it all up on the PM website. The "kit" includes a braided line from the master to the area on the lower frame just below the oil filler spout where our rear stoplight switch is located, a machined aluminum block with three compression fittings...one for the stop light switch which you take off the old brake line, one going to the master, and one going to the real caliper...and of course the rear part of the braided line. The juntion block for the lines is a tight fit...there's an indexing protrusion on the block which did not line up exactly right, so out came the Dremel tool, cut the thing off, and loctited the block onto the frame using the same screw from the old takeoff. Worked out just fine. I have the chrome filler spout, so don't know if that caused the slight fitment issue or not, but it's not a big deal to make it work. Use a bit of teflon tape on the threads of the stoplight switch.
The service manual has you taking off the right lower fairing/glove box to remove the old brake line, which is a rigid piece of steel tubing back to the switch junction...from that point to the rear caliper is the rubber hose part of the brake line..., and it would make things a tiny bit more accessable, but you can get a socket on the end of the master cylinder to get the banjo bolt out, cut a couple of wire ties holding it to the lower frame, release a couple of plastic clamps on the rear swingarm, unplug two spade connectors to the switch, and the whole line pulls out with a bit of wiggling.
With the new assembly, you'd have to remove the block connection if you ever needed to remove the oil filler spout, but there's enough slack in the braided lines to get that part out of the way. If you wanted the chrome spout (I had already put that piece on there a few months ago) it would be a good time to do that if installing new brake lines. Actually the best time to put the chrome spout on is if you have the exhaust headers off for any reason, then you can get to all the socket head allen bolts with a ratchet, otherwise the two bottom bolts are tedious to get in there.
The PM rear caliper is the same one as the front, but comes in a box with the rear swingarm bracket to hold it in place. Bleed the caliper before bolting it onto the bracket...makes life easier.
