Hey Andres, when you did the KST Bars, did you bleed the brakes yourself when you put the new longer line in? Or did you get the dealership to handle your ABS?

I did bleed the brakes but haven’t got back together to see if I have any issues with the ABS module. I also tried to run the stock clutch cable and it works fine as long as I don’t run it through the top tree. The 47 inch upper clutch cable was too long. Here are a couple of pics of the progress so far with stock clutch cable. I also got the turn signals and air ride switch installed. Still waiting on control and turn signal extensions.

Wow so that's the stock clutch cable? It does kinda look rather long. I was planning on re-routing it to the side anyways, because coming up through the middle like it does stock is... weirdly asymmetrical for no reason and it looks weird.
Good to know I wont have to buy one for a 10inch KST bar setup.
"Upper Brake cable-41800657 length 29" 170 degree banjo" Was This one was long enough? Or did you need the 31inch?
How did you fill the new brake cable and bleed it? Reverse bled it from the bottom?

29” fit fine but 31 wouldn’t hurt. I did a reverse bleed.

Not a bar related question andres.0321 but a question still... Did you have to run load equalizers for your mini signals front and rear? Or were they 3-wire like the stocks and not require?
