Braided Brake Lines on StreetGlide

Cant seem to find the answer on this by myself so posting up the question.

I want to switch out the front brake lines on my StreetGlide for braided stainless steel lines. Just the bottom lines, not the entire system.
Does anyone know if these are available with out switching out the entire front brake line system?

thanks!

If you have ABS I believe you can do it. If you dont have ABS you will have the replace the entire line from lever to caliper

On my 07 the 2 lines go from the caliper to a junction mounted on the trees. If your system is like this I wouldnt see why you couldn't. I went braided and it was just like the stock set up.

Yep, just want to replace the short ones from the caliper to the junction.
Did you replace your entire system or just the bottom lines? HD parts or aftermarket, doesnt matter to me.

Yes I had to replace whole system because I changed the bars. I went aftermaket got em from directharleyparts. The banjo bolts are the same size as the stock ones. You should be able to bolt the new lines into your stock junction block

Negative...You need to replace from the calipers to the the manifold to the ABS block under the left side cover.

Replacing the lines into the manifold isn't an option, unless you go with a build your own kit.

Magnum makes a stainless and sterling chromite II option for just the lower. It's $165.
