Default Brakes

I have a 2014 breakout with ABS. We just did a bunch of mods to it. As part of this process I took the hand controls off the handle bar and rerouted the front turning signals wiring through the handle Bar. Now it seems that both the front and rear brake controls are a lot more stiff than I recall. The wheels turn and brakes stop them. Other than disassemblely/reassemblely of the hand control we did nothing to the brake system at all.

Front I can see if you kinked the line, but not the rear.
