Thats the plan bro. Everything should be here Friday. BR is express shipping my cable and I got a black Goodridge banjo from motorcycle superstore. The bars look sick on the bike. They make a huge difference.
Brutus....watch bleeding the brake,my indy did it, but said there`s a "tech bleed"....pumps.... and the dealer has to reset the ABS......when i got it back from my indy, i took it straight to the dealer, the service dude looked at me like i was retarded...... but they bleed them....42 bucks i think....service slip said.....bleed front brakes....not reset.....after your done i would take it to a dealer, it took 30 minutes, hey 1/2 hour and 42 bucks,aint nuttin, cause i feel my front brake is operating at 100%....good luck !...and lookin forward to seeing some pics......

How did you get magnum to sell you a cable? They will not talk to me when i mention blackline upper abs. Im adding 12in t-bar from Hardtail Choppers. 6in taller so i should order 8in over right? but what ends? Only been riding 1 year. blackline is 2 weeks old.
Magnum: +5" longer magnum lines but with 3"+ is more then enough.

Magnum will not sell an "ABS" cable. You have to order a cable with the correct fitting(banjo) for the top and a universal fitting on the bottom. You will then need to order the correct threaded banjo for the bottom fitting.
If I had it to do over, I'd just order the HD cables. You do not need to replace the lower cable as HD recommends. The lower cable is the only one that is a significant difference in price and it is not visible enough in black in my opinion to bother changing. If you plan on going with chrome cables it is obviously a different story.

You can't change an upper cable without changing the lower. I thought the same thing HD changes the setup it is not a direct fit. If it was it would only fit your bike not others non-abs. Read the description on the website.
Trust me, right now the ONLY extended upper lines that are a direct fit is made by drag in stainless only. Find your part # in the fatbook, then go to the dennis kirk website and punch it in. You'll see a picture of it and know exactly what I mean. Good luck ....

Thx bro.....feels great after about 6 weeks. I got some pics of my bars and coild relo coming as soon as I get a chance. Used the horn cover for my coil instead of the coil cover. I think it turned out good and its a little different.
