Luv it

Can anyone post up their part #'s for the Brake line extension? I have a 2021 so the clutch is a cable and I think FatBaggerz is gonna be the way to go.
And Custom Dynamics make some slick wire extensions.
I just put some 16" Carlini Gangster apes on my RKS. Luckily I have mate who had taken some off his and virtually gave me his extended clutch and brake lines which helped the pain of the shipping and duty/tax of getting Carlini bars in the UK.

This should be moved to the TOURING RUSHMORE section. Who is with me? Not sure why this is on an M8 Thread if we are being bike specific here. The M8 is about the motor. If anything the M8 section should be merged with the Touring section because 99.9 percent of the posts here are Touring platform related
