First off, I'm new to the forum, so I'd like to thank all of you in advance for your advice. I want to put 10 inch Carlini Evil Apes on my 2012 Fat Boy Lo. The dealer quoted me $1,700 if they ordered the bars, or $1,325 if I ordered them myself. Is it just me or does that seem high? The bars are roughly $350 shipped. I have a hard time believing that the rest of the parts plus service comes out to $1,300. I have ABS if that makes a difference. Thanks again!
I went with an internal throttle now so I actually have a set of throttle cables that are +12.
You do not have to get the ABS reset at the dealer either, I have heard this all over the forum but do not know the real reason people are saying this. I have had my front brake line off three times and fixing to do it again soon and have never had an issue!
Disconnect the battery before you do anything and use a fat syringe and small tube to reverse flush the caliper to the MC. Or but a harbor freight special brake fluid vaccuum/pump and make sure there are no air bubbles in your system and you won't ahve a problem.
I used the syringe to force fluid through my lines till the MC started to fill then sucked it back through, and pumped via the hand lever.
Good luck and enjoy.

Sooner or later i'm going to be blacking out engine and covers, was wondering about the difficulty in the process of removing covers. Do all fluids need to be drained first? or just top off after replacing gaskets and covers? Waiting on service manual now, the wait is killing me.
