Default flhxs brake bleeding

First off, I'm new to this forum. It looks as if there is a lot of great info and great people here. Thank you for letting me join.

I have a 2014 flhxs with the linked braking system. I am installing a set of raised bars and running into an issue with bleeding the front brake lines. With my bar set I have to replace the front brake master cylinder line, therefore I need to bleed this section of the line. I can't find any kind of bleeding bud on the linked unit. Does anyone know the bleeding procedure for the front brakes for the linked system? Do I need to bleed at the caliper or does the linked unit self bleed?

Thanks in advanced for your help.

Russ

Yes. Your dealer. The '14 Service Manual states that when any hydraulic brake component, line or connection is loosened or replaced on an ABS bike, the Digital Technician II must be used during the brake bleeding procedure to verify all air is removed from the system. Failure to do it right may cost you your life.
