Default T bars / Drag bars
Hey fella's......

I just bought an 05' standard, and I'm wanting to put 8" rise T-bars on there. My brake line is one of the solid types couples to the rubber just at the bottom of the triple tree. What length full rubber brake line will I need to replace this? I know I'll to replace it because it turns to metal tubing so low and will not flex properly.

Thanks

I replaced my rubber and steel line with a standard length braided H-D line. Plenty long. I'll have to do some research to find the part #.

I have 8" wild 1's on mine and I used a stainless brake line for a Night Train.....stock length. Picked it up brand new on eBay for $25.

I had a stock line with 9" drag bars. The narrow grip of the drag bars should counteract the slight taller height over buckhorns
