Default Need help from fatbob owners with apes! front brakeline!

Hi all, need help from my fatbob brothers and sisters. Putting 14" outlawz on my bob and got a drag specialties brake line with +10". Well the line doesn't fit right! Mounted like it should be, ill never be able to make right turns!

For those with apes on your fxdf, what brand are you using for your brake line

What size risers are you using? If they are the stock ones, you have a 20" set up. That's up there...What issue exactly are you having?

Magnum Shielding. It's a two piece setup. They have the bottom piece that goes to both discs, and the top piece which is available in whatever length/banjo style you need. Not cheap though.

Running the 14" bars with wild1 1.5" risers, for a total rise of 15.5". The rise of the new line is ok, the spider for the distribution block has a metal line going into the block from the master. This line extends too far back before angling upwards. Its causing a clearance issue with the frame while turnkng the bars to the right. Gah! Will post a pic when I get home... super frustrating!

If its meant for your bike but doesn't fit, I'd send it back for a refund.

I also have magnum shielding cables and brake lines. Here are some pics of the front brake lines and routing. Good stuff.

I also have a 14" ape and a 1.5" riser and used the barnett +16" cables, they fit like a glove with little room to spare (could have gone with the +15" cables) they look great aswell imo.
