Default Stainless Brake Lines

I have an '08 FLHX w/ ABS and I'm looking to do stainless brake lines however they seem to be very scarce for this combination. I'm looking for feedback from anyone who has already done this. Any help would be appreciated!

I bought mine from Barnett and wish I would have seen them close up beforehand. See my post below for details.

www.magnumshielding.com

You can search by bike too. It's a matter of purchasing an Upper, a Mid, and the Lower assembly.

Edit - for your bike:

Get your part numbers from the Magnum Shielding website and search Google and Amazon.com for pricing. I found a couple of stores selling the lines for our bike (2008 FLHX), I just haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Another plug for Magnum Shielding. And they will custom order if you need extra length for custom bars. I had others on before and they looked like crap after not very long. The MS hold up and after a couple years still look great.

whatever you do, make sure stainless lines are DOT or TUV approved.

some stainless lines are sold as "cosmetic" upgrades for "show bikes" and may not function well exposed to brake fluid.

Thanks to ALL for the help! Just what I was looking for!

As I'm sure most of you already know (and I am just finding out), the 2008 FLHX is "special" in many ways!

And Magnum Shield will send you samples of their stuff before you plunk your hard earned money down. One of their reps called me this morning about my online request for samples. She said they'd get them out to me asap!

Thumbs up Stainless Braided Brake Lines

Good luck in your search Bro, and +++ on Magnum Shielding as mentioned by others here. Got em' on my Super Glide Custom, front and rear, and just had them installed on my Street Glide. I don't yet have photos of the lines on the Street Glide, but here is the Super Glide Custom with them:
