Brake lines - chrome on top, black on the bottom
I have a black RKC, I like the way the black brake lines blend in with the fender on the bottom, but I like stainless with the bars. There is a "junction point" under the trees where the front brakes split off from a single line into 2 cables to the calipers.
I'm getting new bars and cables soon, so I'm trying to decide what to do.
Has anyone done this combo?

I'm not sure that the manifold comes apart.
On my bike, since I have ABS, this would be as simple as only replacing the lines from the MC to the ABS module.
If you have ABS, you could go that route.

On my 11 RKC it's a one piece line, you can go Drag Specialties and it's a two pieces that you can probably do what you want but you will have to replace the top and bottom lines.

Not sure if it will be much help but heres a little bit of visual for you. I have not done this but just happen to have two complete front brake line sets in Sterling Chromite and Black Pearl so I could mix them for you. I suppose it would look a little better on the bike. These are all Magnum Shielding cables and you could find the proper part numbers on there website for your particular model.

I did it with my ABS equipped Street Glide! I had my powder coater 'ceramic coat' the junction point that bolts in under the triple tree and the lower connection points. Looks great! We used the non-heat activated ceramic coating as not to have problems with the clear plastic jacketing.
Good luck...
