Default Diamondback Brake Lines

I purchased (from Zanotti's) the upper and lower Diamondback brake lines for my 08 Road King. The upper line arrived today and the lower lines are backordered until next week. Fine. My question is this. The instructions I received said to obtain the "new" lower brake line assembly which is the piece that joins all of the lines - upper and lower - together. Is this a separate purchase or is it included with the lower lines? I couldn't find anything on HD's site other than it said it comes with "all necessary hardware". Hopefully, this includes that piece. Anyone know for sure?

Thanks,
Gary

I changed mine out on an 07 SG...
From what I remember, the lower had the metal "Y" built into it. So you shouldn't need to buy anything additional.

If i recall correctly the Lower lines had the y attachment that splits the line off the master cylinder to the two calipers.

It's attached to the lower set ... mine was anyway. I believe the do this so you can fish the uppers through the fairing to the brake lever.
