Default 05 dyna forward controls

A buddy of mine wants to install forwards on his o5 dyna and I didnt know for sure if he was going to have to bleed the brakes...I hear bleeding is a real pain

So my question is do you have to bleed the brakes when installing the new linkage to the rear?

Thanks for your time, I appreciate it!

Death

If the install is done correctly, there is no need to bleed the brakes.&nbsp\\; The new linkage threads in the rear cylinder without breaking the brakelines.

&nbsp\\;That's okay I'm current on my shots. If this guy uses the HD kit it's the same setup that is on the 2000-2005 Dyna's. I put that kit on both of my Dyna's. Pretty simple job. No brake bleeding required.
