Default Stock front caliper banjo fitting size?

does anyone know the size of the front brake line to caliper stock banjo fitting size for a 2013 slim?

i'm considering swapping to the brembo front caliper and want to know if i need to replace the brake line to the ABS module. i hope not.

i already have the new hd brembo caliper and the 11.8 rotor. i'm hoping not to have to swap brake lines.

thx - tin

Great timing. I was going to order the Street Glide Brembo front brake this afternoon (part number 43027-08) for my 2012 Slim. I'm also going to an 11.8 front rotor.

I asked my local dealer on the banjo sizes and need for a new brake line... no one knew the answer.

I inquired about need a larger master cylinder given the brembos have more surface area and they said that I should be fine with the stock one.

Please post your progress and what you find out regarding what parts you need to make the conversion. Thanks
