Softail FX brake help, pic request
Hello,
I've long had some fxst controls from a 1989 in the parts bin. I've just had the laziness not to install them. My bike is set up like an fxsts so it kinda looked, looks dumb...
I'm asking for a photo of how the FX rear reservoir setup looks like. I need to see how it is mounted. I think I have everything ready to go. The shifter side was remarkably easy. Now that I know how to install a kickstand so simply. If somebody ever uses pennies again I think I'll cringe. Ha ha
Hello a fellow Evo brother out, please.
Thanks,
Tom

FXST rear brake reservoir is mounted behind the regulator and a hose connects it to the MC.
The set up you have is way better and easier to service but if you absolutely plan on taking it off let me know and I would be ecstatic to buy it from you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you PM me your number I can text some pictures of my FXSTC set up later when I get back to work.

Check your PM. Thank you Mike!
I am just tired of the floorboards. You know how it goes in this forum. Buy a $5000 bike and invest $20,000++++ into it and be left with a bike worth $4000. What's the problem??
In all honesty, I do have an ultra that we use for 2-up so a little cleaner or streamlined look is in order for me now.
Thank you again!

Thanks Jason! Your setup is certainly not Moco but beautiful and efficient nonetheless. Somewhere along the way I got these factory pegs.
I spent $0 on this so far.... For now! Lol

Yup. It is a GMA bracket and two piston caliper that is much better than the factory offering. Fwiw, I think BDL is marketing it or bought the GMA name.
You don't miss too much do you, Harry??!!
