Default Rear Master Cylinder - Relocation

Have a 2013 FXDB Street Bob, want to install Performance Machine forwards which means that i have to relocate my rear master cylinder to where the forwards are. Any one done this? What does it entail?

Thanks

I would think you just need a longer brake line is all.

Is that all ? There seems to be a lot of paraphernalia on the existing Rear Master Cylinder as this is a ABS model.

Oh in the case of abs I dunno then. I know your rear stop switch wiring will have to be extended as well.

i have forewards on an '08 the master cylinder doesn't move, there is a longer rod from the pedal to it, i think soft tails have the master cylinder up near the brake pedal

I did it on my '08 Street Bob because: I used Softail Footboards (before FLD was released) and with my FLH crossunder exhaust I wanted my brake switch a little farther away from the exhaust. I used the hard brake line from a Heritage classic.
