Ok, first of all just wanted to say the search feature on this sight SUCKS!![:@] Ok, sorry had to get that out.
I put a new set of bars on a 93 Sportster and the front brake line is now to long. Can you cut out a section of the hard brake line to shorten it up? I think I can take out 6-8" and then reconnect it with a section of brake line and some hose clamps. Will this work and is it safe to do? I know I will have to bleed the brake line and all after doing this, just want to make sure it is Ok to do before I do it. Thanks for you help in advanced. Bryan
