I have that same rear caliper setup and I had a hell of a time getting it to bleed mounted on the bike. I ended up dismounting the caliper and laying it on the floor, sticking an old rotor between the pads, and bleeding it that way. That worked great. I'm assuming the caliper mounted higher than the master cylinder was the issue.

Appreciate the tip and heads up!

Well last night was frustrating to say the least.... Not having a lift definitely makes things a little more difficult. Got the wheel installed with the TC bro's bracket and Brembo p4 caliper. I know it says on their website it requires longer brake line and by the pictures I can see they all run similar to how I did this mockup. This is the factory line mocked up. Anyone else run this set up or a similar and have a picture of how you ran your line? Just doesn't look right to me with the hard degree turn

I'm going to be going through this soon with Brembo GR4-RS radial mounts on my '17 FXDB. If it were me, I'd relace that brake line with one just a bit longer so I could go over/in front of the bracket instead of around, and also change the fitting to have a more appropriate angle on it to match the new situation.

That's a good idea! I'll look into that.

When I did the dual disc conversion and +2 forks on mine I had Galfer make my lines. It was super easy; they were really helpful and IIRC it wasn't stupid expensive. Here's a link to their custom brake lines, it looks really complicated but it's really not.
STANDARD & CUSTOM LINE ORDER PAGE | Galfer (galferusa.com)

Here are the lines they made for me a couple of years ago.

That was Fuel Moto's recommendation after a 45 minute conversation about all the different options. I'm sure a dyno tune will help a little. Hopefully!

I make a new brake line using a Magnum BYO kit. I'll try to remember to take a photo tonight of how I routed it.

Finally dropping this thing off to get a proper tune. I’ve been trying to get this done since July, but the guy I’ve used in the past kept giving me the run around…

Decided to take it to Roeder Racing based on a brother’s recommendation. It’s about 2.5 hours each way, but if they’re as good as everyone says they are it doesn’t matter.
