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.

Look at just replacing the rear from the tee to the caliper. That's what I did when I changed to the PM calipers. Check with PM and see if you can get just the line from them.
