Default 3" ness ext question

installed the 3 inch extension on my forwards&nbsp\\; what a difference&nbsp\\;being 6'3 I love it&nbsp\\;....question is &nbsp\\;do you cut the old lines at the adapter block and leave it or does the block&nbsp\\;come out&nbsp\\;... I just tucked the lines out of site for a ride but want ot finish the job right

Take the old block out, no need to cut it. I have those also and i'm 6'3" I would say it was the best thing i've put on the bike yet.

Are these extensions a no brainer to install?&nbsp\\; Is there a loss of brake fluid when changing the hoses, etc? &nbsp\\;

Yes, brake fluid is lost.&nbsp\\; Need to bleed the rear brake after install of block and lines.&nbsp\\; Install is pretty straight forward.&nbsp\\; I've done 5 installs now, no problems.&nbsp\\; Make sure you use red loctite on the attaching hardware.

do they come with decent instructions?&nbsp\\; I'm assuming that no brake fluid would need to be added.
