Yup, +1 on selling brake line. Just bite the $45 bullet.

Didn't get a new cable, just routed it a bit different and it fits more betterer...

Though my clutch cable seems a bit snug the way it's routed, but after changing the tranny fluid it shifts like buttah.

Outstanding job and the bike looks great. I followed your thread because I am ordering up a set of 14 inch Wild One apes for my Fat Boy and was very interested in what I was getting into. Great thread.
