I have a 08 ultra with ABS. I ordered rear brake line kit from Dennis Kirk. they sent without abs, mix up on their part but being taken care of. Problem I have is they don't carry with abs lines and I can't find anyone who does. anybody know where to get? Or am I stuck going to dealer.
Thanks for any help

Problem you're going to have if you are replacing a line from the abs module to the caliper, or the mc to the module, is your going to have to get the dealer to bleed the unit.

I've seen used on flea bay, but I don't trust critical components like that used.

 

I know sucks figure fix change pads bleed normal and carefully ride back roads to dealer. Problem can't find line. And I agree about critical parts. Thanks for input Irishhogtrotter. Love the name. Lol

Take the part numbers & try google

 

OP, while I think that you may be circling back anyway to having the dealer bleed your brakes, there's a bit of misinformation that's been given you.


I had the same issue with my front brake on my ABS-equipped 2011 Street Glide when I changed bars. I read the manual, saw some comments regarding the necessity for having the dealership bleed the brakes and re-set the ABS. But before I did the job, I did a search on this very forum and LO! The key to bleeding the brakes WITHOUT going to the dealership was to carefully and completely bleed the brakes until you're dead certain there's no air in it at all, and DO NOT turn on the ignition before you are certain. More often than not, you don't have to have the dealership hook it up to the Diagnostic Technician.


So, I did just that. I started the process with a Mity Vac, followed up with a conventional brake bleed, had a great lever. I waited a few days, and every day I'd go out and check it to make sure it had the correct feel...the bike was down anyway, you might be a bit more anxious, I realize. Finally, I turned on the ignition, and ZOUNDS! All was well! No need for an expensive visit.


Now here's why I say that you might be visiting the dealer anyway. If you haven't had some previous experience bleeding a brake system, a motorcycle with ABS is probably not the place to begin. There's an art to bleeding brakes, and it takes a few tries to get it right. And the advice to "carefully ride back roads to dealer" is absolutely wrong. It's well and fine if you want to take that chance and injure yourself and your motorcycle. It's NOT okay to put other's wellbeing at risk, and that's exactly what you would be doing. So, if you don't feel comfy with that task, put the brake line on, and trailer it, or put it on a flatbed tow, and get it to the dealer!


If you have a good lever, and you're pretty certain that you got all the air out, and you have good brakes, and you have a steady ABS light, the threads I read seemed to indicate that all that meant was that the ABS was inoperative, but that the brake system itself was fine. In other words, the bike would skid if the situation came up, rather than not do that, as the ABS was designed. In that case, I think you'd be okay riding it to the dealer.


I would suggest to you that you develop your own opinions by doing a search of this forum like I did...there are several, perhaps even many, threads on this subject. I'm not trying to discourage you from attempting a brake bleed...there's a first time for all of us...but my first time was on a vehicle with four wheels, and extra drums to get the job done! And I was closely supervised by an experienced mechanic!


Good luck! Please let us know how it turns out...I'd like to know.
