help with hydraulic clutch
i am moving my clutch hydraulic clutch line from running along the bars to running though the hole in the fairing. I am not able to get it to line up. the fitting that connects the resevior to the line (not sure of the name) is either to long or is the wrong angle. because the fitting is at least a inch long and the line has a inch long straight nonbendable end it cause the line to kink when I connect it. do anybody know if they have different size fittings or different angle fittings. I like the look of running it through the fairing but not sure if this is possible.

Can anyone tell me how I can go about installing a hydraulic clutch on my 2009 Street Glide. Would it be best to gather all the part number's from the CVO Ultra part's catalog and order everything individually? Has anyone done this? Thx in advance, Rich

Just a thought, is it possible the MoCo provided those particular fittings to prevent folks from running it through the hole in the fairing? Was that an option in the instructions? Not sure if running it through the fairing would increase the possibility of binding. Not being able to straighten the bars comming out a turn because the hose got caught on something could be interesting.

Putt,
You can get better equipment from aftermarket suppliers.
Baker, HHI, PM, Jaybrake...all make trans end covers.
Pickup a CVO master cylinder and hose, you're pretty much set.

To the OP...
Do you not have a brake line company in your area?
Most shops the make hydraulic hoses also build brake lines.
I had mine made locally and the banjo fittings were bent the way I needed them, then the line crimped on.
