Brake line, same reach ABS vs non-ABS?
Just picked up a 2011 Street Glide with ABS and I'm just checking boxes before I swap bars. My last bike was an 08 non-ABS and the stock brake line reached the 10" bars I installed just fine. Will the ABS line reach just the same or are they shorter?
You should be alright with the brake line length! When you take front fairing off just measure from the fitting where the lines go into up to the length of the bars. I don't think Harley shorten brake lines just because the bike has abs or not!

The brake line on a ABS bike actually leaves the bars and goes to the ABS module under the side cover (under the seat). You should be ok with 10" bars using the same line. I only had to snip a zip tie up by the steering neck on the right side to give my brake line a little more room to reach.
