Got all excited when the box came today with my clutch cable, brake line and wiring extensions... until I opened it and found it was all wrong... well, apparently only some of it was wrong and the rest was just misrepresented. HD Bike Parts was very nice about it though and will gladly accept my return.

I've reordered the whole package from Magnum instead. Hopefully I'll be much happier when that package shows up.

Either way, the apes will have to wait a bit longer.

I was glad they were cool about it, but also irritated that they tried to BS me at the same time, saying about the brake line "There is no one that makes the bottom fitting like the stock one which has a long tube with a 90ş bend in it" when Magnum clearly does. I wanted to keep an OEM style fit there and theirs was just a straight banjo fitting which I guess I would have to mount at an angle on the ABS unit. That may be how the others make it too, but it just didn't sound like a clean install to me.

This was about the J shaped banjo tube fitting where the stock brake line goes to the ABS unit. Maybe most of the aftermarket kits are like theirs with just a straight fitting going to it, but the Magnum one has the J shaped fitting and that's what I want.

This was an aftermarket supplier trying to tell me I couldn't buy an aftermarket line that had that style fitting so that I would keep his universal style line he sent me.

It's probably fine, really, but I'm a picky bastard and it wasn't what I expected.

It's possible he thought what he said was true, but whatevs, ****'s going back either way. It will be worth the wait to have it the way I want it.
