My bike is a '15 and ordered the brake line for a '14 from AN. If you buy a vacuum brake bleeder you don't have to pump the brakes. Just keep the master cylinder full and use the vacuum pump to bleed.

I thought I read somewhere here on the forum that the calipers were a little different on the 15's. But i think the brake lines are the same. Besides colors I think it was the calipers, the clutch and brake levers that were different on the 15's.

This thread. I have an 05 nightrain and it seems to me the oem part is for 07 and later models only so my best bet would be the arlen ness kit? I am 6'2" and really dissapointed with the standard set up with my 33" inside leg.

I'd bet that the Harley brackets would fit your bike.
For anyone considering the H-D kit (which ends up looking much better than the Ness extension plates), if I was going to do this again I'd look into just buying the two brackets and the longer shift rod. Those are the only three parts you really need. In fact, I only used those three parts from the H-D kit I bought!! Everything else that came in the kit got tossed into my "Spare Parts/BS" box.
I didn't price it out, but you might save a few bucks by buying just those three parts. The part numbers are listed here - click on "service parts".....

Arlen Ness kit includes everything you need. Non of this "requires separate purchase of longer brake line" etc. it's all there. It's a great cheap solution. Ok it's not custom parts but the black brackets blend in with the frame just fine.

To clarify, in my other post above when I say "those are the only three parts you really need" I am referring to all the parts that come in the H-D kit. The kit comes with new bolts, washers, O-rings ... all kinds of stuff that I did not use - or even need - at all. In fact, the zinc plated washers that H-D includes in the kit do not even fit the brackets.
The rear brake master cylinder is mounted to the right bracket. It mounts the same way on the extended bracket - right to the bracket itself.

Yep, you'll need the Ness brake line - or some other solution - no matter which way you decide to do it. Mac1, do you have a Breakout? Does it have ABS brakes? I'm asking because the install might be a little different if you have a different bike. If your bike doesn't have ABS there's probably a H-D brake line that will work.
