New Brake Line - No Brakes
 
I had to replace the front brake line on my 2018 FLHCS when I put on new bars. Now I have no front brake. Try bleeding the brake but it doesn't help. Drains only when I use a pump. No leaks anywhere. I don't know what else to do.

Any advice?

I did more research. This is my first bike with ABS. Harley claims you have to take bikes with ABS into a dealer to have the brakes bled. Almost called the dealer. Then I found this video.


I don't recommend it as it is not safe to ride without front brakes but it worked for me. I did what he said, bled the brakes and I noticed a slight improvement whereas before I had NO front brakes. So I did it again and bled the brakes again. I now have brakes again.

Word of caution - BE CAREFUL.
