I just picked up a 2001 FXDL and it is in pretty much perfect condition as far as I can tell except for the front brake - the handle comes almost to the handlebar before it engages. I was thinking of first just bleeding the brakes - but I can't find the bleeder valve! Any hints? Also, this is a DOT5 brake fluid, so is water in the line less likely culprit? I am wondering if there is a caliper issue so that would probably be next

That looks aftermarket (i could be wrong) so I can't help you there. If you can't find a bleeder valve you could always try bleeding it at the master.
