Great write-up, bad-*** bike, and really clean work you did. Thanks!

When doing a custom work, it is not one size fits all so you have to factor everything. For example the size of the bars, they have different size exit points at the bottom of the riser so if it might be too tight there like the carlini bars then there might have some issues. You also have to factor how the cables were lengtened. Were they soldered or used the Namz extension? The key is to have accurate measurement.

Thanks guys, I hope I helped someone out there.
By the way, the reason why I did not put the cost of the Goodridge Sniper 2 items is because I got them from this forum's sponsor and I just don't want to rant over the internet. Just get the best price on eBay since I already listed the items needed. Ride safe!

After installing the snipers, i found that it's a little bit challenging to bleed the brakes. I usually bleed the brakes from the bleeder screw using a 30cc syringe with 5/16" tubing (i think). It was easier that way for me since it's a one-man bleeding method. But when bleeding the snipers from below, i wasn't satisfied with the firmness so i had to re-bleed the conventional way until im sure there's no air in the system. One factor could be the cross-sectional diameter of the snipers compared to the conventional brake lines like the magnum shielding i used to have. And also maybe because i did everything internal so there may be tight bends compressing the sniper line.
But when i started riding the bike, the brake lever seems to have more pull travel but later on i guess as the lines expanded, i got more confidence on the firmness and feel and the bike stops as it should be (break-in the brakes, lol!). It was a subjective question so it's up to you to decide to bleed the brakes until you're satisfied with the firmness.

Does the lever feel heavier?
Do the brakes/pads release more slowly?

I changed my brake master to aftermarket and it feels lighter than OEM harley 9/16". Brakes are responsive just like oem. No noticeable change in pads braking action. They're just the same as the oem ones. Hth.
