Hey all,
I just ordered my 14" T-bars for my 16 low rider. I already know I need to get the new headlamp set up as well as cables, but im not finding anything as to where I can get a brake line set up. Would I need to find a shop to build a custom one? or does any one know where I can get just the brake line already built, or an affordable kit with cables and brake line? was just gonna use the stock street bob cables but if I can get an affordable kit with all of it, ill go that route.
How does it detach from the block that's mounted on the lower triple tree though? it looks like all the lines are crimped or permanently mounted to the block.

It's just a brake fitting. It can be removed from the fitting easily.
IM pretty sure you need to buy the upper and lower lines. Thats what I had to do on my 14 fxdl. The top line from magnum shielding has a 10mm fitting that will not fit the stock block.

Thanks for the info, ill keep that in mind and check it out before I order anything.
the brake lines on the 16 is crimped from top to bottom, you can't disconnect it as outlined further up this thread. It sucks that HD went to this design and most of the common extended lines are on backorder. Mine has been down for a week and it looks like it'll be a few more before my brake line comes in. Maybe aftermarket has a new set up that include a junction block that is detachable, but the stock one definitely isn't like that.
why do you need to swap out cables, I've got 12 inch apes with 2 inch risers on my street bob which makes a 14 inch total rise all stock cables with no issues

Because his is a Low Rider, not a Street Bob. Different length cables/lines stock.
