There are a lot of choices: Designer Upper Brake Assembly, Swivel Front Brake, Front Single Brake. I thought I had a single front brake.
Which one should I order??

I ordered the swivel for the wife's Deluxe simply because I figured it would be easier to install since you don't have to worry about the clocking (orientation of ends). But when I did my Heritage I used the standard single line and it was fine.
So the stock 44" single line should work fine for your application (not changing bars or risers). It's part #36144. The swivel will work too but as I said it's really not needed.
They're one company that actually answers their phone and emails so if you have any doubts give them a shout.

Yeah I was overwhelmed by those choices, that's why I need some help. I guess I really should find me a local trustworthy shop who could help me out with all this.
My bike is in storage right now for the winter and all this work will be done by the time I pick her up in April. Gives me something to do all winter, planning all this out
For now, here's what it looks like. I guess this will be the official "before" pic. The bags are already sold and HD hard bags are on the way to replace them. The V&H pipe is coming off tomorrow and the Samson True Duals go on. I should ask if I can snap some pics of the progress.

That backrest saved my back. It is from Firehouse Customs, goes right on a Deluxe with no adjustments.

You're quite welcome. I should've added that it's also one company where you need to be sure you're ordering the right part. They charge a 25% restocking fee on returns. I forgot I had a rotor lock on my bike and ordered the wrong size cable. Ended up costing me about $40 more
.
Also, check the cables good when you get them for any defects before installing them. I found some "nicks" on the wife's clutch cable a couple weeks after installing it which I'm 99.9 % sure had to have been there from the factory. Can't see any other explanation. Anyway, my options were to seal the nicks with rtv and live with it or send the cable back for repair at my cost. I chose the former.
