I have a 1997 Sportster Sport. It has dual front disc brakes from the factory. I want to put on some 10" mini apes and everything will reach except the brake line...I spoke to the dealer, only for them to say.."Can't help you". Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Yup...
Measure out what you need for lines, Tee's, etc..
Pick up yer J&P Cycle or Jireh Cycle catalog and order what ya need..
Dealer will rarely get involved with mods like this.. Dunno why.. Could be some strange laibility thing, or they figure it ain't worth the hassle..
