Who's got longer clutch/brake lines for apes?
Was at the dealer a while back and they had in their aftermarket book extended lines for brake and clutch for '14's with taller than 14" apes. Just curious who on here has swapped out lines and what you used. I think the ones the dealer showed me were Goodrich? One thing I'm not sure if I liked about them was the line was 2 piece, so the shorter end section could be swapped out for taller or shorter bars down the road without having to replace all the way back to the linked brake/abs module. I'm going to order a set before winter as part of my mod accumulation so I don't nickel and dime myself to death when I do 16" apes.

They are Goodridge lines, and on my 14 king they are [3] piece, the line itself is one section with JIC fittings on each end of the hose. there is an adapter for the master and one for the abs module for the JIC ends to attach.. The oem line is all one piece. Once the new line and two adapters are in place, future changes would be made by just the hose length and not from an adapter change. However the new brake hose I used has extra length that tucks into the headlamp housing, If I want to change bars again later its all there for me. I also had no issues bleeding the brakes, used a syringe and forced fluid from a front caliper back to the master. Lots of info at HD BIKE PARTS if you want to Google them. Hope this helps

Did you order right from that hd parts site? I entered my info and filled in what bars I'm doing, but it doesn't specify the length of the cables they'll send. Do they give me that info after I place the order and they see what bars I'm doing, and then they ship the stuff out?

$75 for shipping?!?!?!? I hope that's because you chose the fastest and most expensive option, and not because that's their standard shipping fee for a set. That's ridiculous!
