Default Help & Pics of Ext. ABS on 2012 FXDWG

Hi,
I have a FXDWG '12 ABS and need help!!
I bought Road6Customs 16" bars and Burly Cable Kit combo (B30-1047).
The brake line is for non-ABS. (after I clearly stated model type).
I have read a heap of posts, yet can't figure out how you could add an extended Upper brake line, when the Junction Block seems to be fixed for the MC and Caliper lines???
What am I not seeing here?
Can anyone lead me to a previous post with pics of junction block? Or can anyone post pics of theirs, showing how you got to, or avoided, the Junction Block?
Thanks heaps....

If I'm not mistaken, the OEM main brake line is one piece. You will have to install both upper and lower. Here is a link to OEM #.

Thanks for your link Rebel.
No it's a 2-piece thru the junction block. Standard replacement part is 1-piece as upper and lower are pressed into the junction block.
Harley say they sell Extended Upper and the Lower Cables separately, yet are quiet on how to join to the junction block.
Have found a brake shop that can tap a thread into block and thread a nipple on for me to join to.
I am still trying to work out the 3 Part No.'s for 2012-Up FXDWG "1-Piece" cable lol

The 3 part #s are for 11, 12, 13. I don't have ABS on mine, so I'm only going off the pictures.

MODULAR BRAKE LINE KITS Instructions. Check with the dealer and see if the lower brake line comes with the manifold fixed and threaded for the 2 HCU lines and upper line.

Default figured it out

Hey folks I was in the same boat as OP. I found what is needed without any crazy shortcuts. In my googling I came across extended brake line cables at Drag Specialties. I ordered one that is 10" over stock. As it turns out that's much longer than I need. https://www.denniskirk.com/drag-specialties/front-extended-length-abs-black-vinyl-brake-line-kit.p1908847.prd/1908847.sku
