Either way, good luck. I hope you get it worked out.

Nope. I did the bleed myself using a Mityvac tool. The key is to 1.) do NOT turn the bike on from the time you disconnect brake lines to the time you're done bleeding the system and 2.) Overly bleed the system. You want to be 100% sure that there are no air bubbles in the lines. I pulled about 3 bottles of brake fluid through the system through both front calipers to be sure. Overkill? maybe ... but my ABS works correctly.

What brake line and clutch cable (part #'s) did you get? I have the exact same risers, but Lucky Dave's Bars...so pretty much the same set-up.

Clutch Cable (42"); HD Part # 37200383
My only comment is that the clutch cable I purchased could probably be a bit shorter. I've been meaning to order a 40" cable (part # 37200382) to try it out, but haven't gotten around to it yet. It might be something for you to consider.

Right on man! I love the HCP risers. What kind of bars are you going with?
With all the stock Harley wire sheathing, everything is fairly tight while trying to snake everything through the bars then down through the risers. I deleted my front turn signals, so that gave me a little more space to work with. Either way, you could try to remove the stock sheathing and re-sheathe the wiring into a tighter bundle to make things snake through easier.
As for extending the wires, you can go one of two ways - Harley wire harness extensions or cut/extend the wires yourself. I opted to cut/extend the wiring myself since I have a good amount of experience with stuff like that. If I'm remembering correctly, there were some wires that were long enough and didn't need to be extended. When you have everything in hand, mock up your risers and bars and you'll be able to get a pretty solid idea of what will and will not need to be extended. As far as getting to the wiring block under the gas tank, you just need to pull the rubber boot out (left side of gas tank) and you have access to everything ... no need to unbolt/remove the gas tank.
I'm not sure if any of this helps, but if you have anymore questions feel free to ask on here of through PM.
