Default ABS Lower Brake Line

stick 2011 ROad king. I am changing out to 16" bulry bars.

Other than the aesthetics is there a reason to change the lower ABS Brake line if I change the Front upper brake line to a HD diamond Braided black cable.
Thanks

Nope, no need to change the lower lines.

Hmmm, mine are all one piece system, pretty much gotta toss the whole thing I thought on my StreetGlide. Have wanted to have chrome braided lowers for awhile but balked at the price to replace the system. Me thinks me misinformed?

Abs = upper and lower line
non Abs = one piece line
