Default Low Rider S Bars and cables

I'm switching out my bars to Todd's 10" Strip Bars. I have the bars on the bike and the wires run through the bars (what a bitch). Looks like the wires are going to be just barely long enough. I will need to change the clutch cable and the brake line. Clutch cable is easy enough. Anyone change out the brake lines on one of these with the ABS yet? Looks like a simple distribution box under the trees to send fluid to the front and rear brakes, but I'm not sure if it's valved to send a certain amount to each. Any suggestions on the right set up? Pictures to come...

The cheapest way to go about this is to put +length lines for an FXDF from drag specialties.


When I installed my apes I used 1741-3830 which is a plus +8" (upper length of 31"). You would be advised to measure the length you need from the manifold under the tree to the brake reservoir to get the length you need. I just ordered based on part number recommendation and was almost too short.

Thanks SASK. From everything I see, part number 1741-3828 only comes with the upper and 2 lower front lines. In your picture, the rear lines are connected. What am I missing?

The manifold has a spot for the rear lines.

FYI: The "rear" lines from the distribution block don't go to the rear brake, they go to the ABS controller. Fluid flow is like this: (Reservoir/brake lever)-->(in:Manifold block right side rear)-->(out:Manifold block rear side right)-->(ABS controller)-->(in:Manifold block rear side left)-->(out:Manifold block left and right side front)-->(Calipers). The manifold itself has a pre and a post side. Fluid does not mix between them within the block itself. It must flow out from the block to the ABS controller and back to the other side of the block. This allows the ABS controller to control fluid pressure and do it's thing.


Code:
                                   
        Front Brakes only
