Default ABS Brake Line help!!!
I have searched and searched through the pages and pages of this forum. I am ordering new bars for my 2012 Fatboy Lo with in the next week. I am going with the RSD Vintage 12 In Apes with 3 in risers. I need help from someone who has done a bar change with ABS. Suggestions on kits you have used or really any help... I have found plenty of cable kits but none that are compatible with ABS. Thanks in advance for any help!

I used the cable kit for ABS from LA Choppers. Worked for my Blackline with ABS.

Cheers,

I went with magnumshielding cables and brake line. Tried the LA choppers kit and sent it back. For the the upper ABS I used Magnums universal brake line in 44" length with a 35 deg 7/16 banjo on top and a 180 deg straight banjo for the bottom. Magnum or any other steel braided line will be fine for ABS.
