Default New 3 inch risers install

New 3 inch risers install. Well never used any taller risers then stock. recently I purchased a 2000 6FXDI 35 anniversary. Just bought 3 inch pullback risers for my stock handlebars now brake line too short I'm going crazy trying to figure out the part that I need to extend my brake line from master cylinder to i'm not sure if there is a metal tubing to where the hydraulic rubber hose goes to I just need to know what it's called or what I need to by so I can install the new risers and start candle bars

I'm not aware of any good ways to extend existing lines. The common fix is to replace the entire thing with a longer lineset. Magnum Shielding and Goodridge are the usual suspects...available from most of the usual online retailers.

That brake line is one piece. Looks like you straightened out the metal portion of the line already. I would suggested measuring what you need and get a new brake line installed.


GCJohnny created a great video showing how to measure for new cables.






Good luck!

I added three riser to my bike a while back, but I did have my cables replaced when I went from pull back drag bars to 12 inch bars, then to 14 inch bars plus three inch risers. I only replaced the cables once. Pulled everything up and all is well so far.
Good luck...

Actually those pictures are how I bought the bike looks like that metal tubing is a factory installation if I can just remove all of that and start from the caliber to the bars I guess that's all I need to do then is that something the every day guy could do never done changing of cables before
