2012 Tri Glide Front Brake line extension
My wife has a 2012 Tri Glide non abs. I put a set of reach handlebars on and need to extend the front brake line by a few inches. I was having an issue finding the correct parts so I contacted the HD Dealer to order the Clutch cable and Brake lines.
The dealer ordered a new brake line extension, full kit from MC to Both Calipers.
Drag Specialties
Part # 1741-2626
Drag Specialties Brake Line - Front - +6" - Touring - Stainless Steel - 1741-2626 - Speed Addicts
This does not fit. You can not even mount this , the hard tubing is not correct, if you place the block at the mounting point they do not clear the tree at all, and if you line up the Guide pin and mounting hole, it is turned at about 20 degres off.
Everything I read and search says this is the correct part. It looks nothing like the one that came off, although since the bike was purchased used, from a dealer, I can not say what was on there was stock.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me. I am at a loss here. This should not be that hard to find the correct parts. The dealer is no help at all.

That looks more like the one, unfortunately they are out of stock everywhere, and DK states may be Out for extended period, more than 90 days.
I did however find and order this, it was hard to find in stock as well. Looks like it will work with an extended brake line.
