Well I successfully got the front fxdl wheel on the front and removed my rear but ran out of time before work (nightshift for one more week) hoping to get the rear rotor and sprocket swapped over tomorrow and try and figure out the radial brake setup I bought. I had the fxdl wheels pinstriped just like my 13 spokes also.
Is this the same for ABS equipped models or do I have to get it to the dealer as some have suggested elsewhere to use their computer to belled the ABS system? I have a vacuum canister system that used compressed air to create the vacuum into a storage canister and once connected, you simply open the bleeders and keep the reservoir topped off while you go from furthest to closest (to the master) bleeder. Maybe I should get speed bleeders too...
You should be able to bleed with ABS the same way, you’ll just have a small amount of fluid in the module that won’t get flushed. The only bike I had that was abs equipped that I did a flush on was a BMW and I had a gs911 hex can tool that would cycle the abs module, but it was not necessary. I’ve bled many abs cars and trucks and haven’t had the tool to activate the module.

You really need to acuate the ABS module. I fought a spongey lever for weeks thinking I could do it without. However I did replace every single line on the bike, so that probably had something to do with it. If you don't want to go to a dealership or spend $1,000 on the digital tech, this is what I use.
I got my rotor and sprocket swapped onto the FXDL rear wheel today. Mounted it up with the new Kraus radial bracket and Brembo caliper. Everything spins as it should. I ran out of time before work again but tomorrow I should have the caliper bled. I'll take it for a test ride around the block for safety's sake then put the Ride On in the tires and let her rip. Properly seating the brake pads of course.

Yeah, it's been bled 3 times, and Mity Vaced once...no visible air coming out but still a long travel, mushy lever with very little stopping power
When I put on my new bars and brake lines I used a break bleed vacuum pump I purchased at Harbor freight. I kid you not it took me about 2 hours of using that pump but I finally got it. I experienced the same thing you are talking about. Brand new lines suck to get all the fluid through. Good luck on that!
Not really what I've done today but over the past 2 weeks my buddy and myself tore it down and resprayed it in my garage.
When I bought it
Then doing some light changes
How it sits now
I do have a question about how to mount a quick release sissy bar with the quick release bags so if anyone has done it or has a good idea I'm all ears.

Looks rad! 🤙 I have the same question. I'm going to switch to leatherpros so I can mount my quick detach setup. Right now I have hard mounted bags and sissy bar side plates.
