Steel Steed, not sure if it's in the service manual (certainly hope it would be). I work in the brake system supply chain for H-D though, and the torque spec for Dyna's and Softails is 17-22 ft/lbs with 19 ft/lbs being optimal. Also, make sure you don't lose the washers on either side of the brake line. They usually have a little rubber gromet molded into them (depending on what year and model H-D you have), and it's important to reuse those (or buy new ones). Good luck!

I appreciate the tips! My brake line arrived just today too.

Happy to help! Now I need to get me a Harley of my own. I know, I work for a H-D supplier and don't own one, but we do have a test garage with eight H-D bikes I get to ride when the engineers aren't using them for testing purposes.

I'm thinking about a Street Bob through the HD1 program, or a Fat Bob. Cheers!
