SS front brake line
Looking to replace my front brake line with a braided stainless steel one. I am having a hard time tryingto figure out which Harley parts I need. It seems that the HD lines are all listed as two piece, but my FB has a one piece line. Anyone know the correct part number for the Harley part?
Also, are there good after-market lines you would trust your life with (this is the front brake we are talking about)? Seems like HillCountryCustoms has some good looking ones, but I don't know about the quality.

You can run single or dual line. My guess is it's for bikes with dual front discs where you need a splitter under the fork so HD just used the same lines.
I bought Diamndback stainless. They come with all clamps and seals.

I have purchased a couple of sets of stainless lines from HillCountryCustomCycles and they were top notch.
As far as Harley's Diamondback lines, they do not offer a replacement one piece for very many models. The reason for the two piece design is because a wide selection of bikes can use the same length line from the caliper(s) to the bottom of the lower tree where it will connect to the upper line or they will connect to a splitter manifold then to the upper line. Then depending on handle bar height you choose your upper line length. It cuts down on all of the different possible brake line lengths that they need to manufacture and stock.
The part numbers for the modular 2 piece lines that you need are
UPPER:44964-07 LOWER:42371-07
