Default +3 Ness Ext. Brake Line routing...

I have a 2007 Deuce, added the Ness +3 fwd control extentions, everything fit great, love the feel.

Directions said to route the brake line like factory. So i did

But it seems tight, stock routeing was over the pivot ont he singwarm and down. It looks like it needs to run from frame under the pivot point and to the caliper.. How did you guys do it?

Just wondering if this is why i cant get my brake bled the best. It works but seems like there is still air in the system, which where it routes over the pivot point is higher than the bleeder i believe, but so was factory... Any thoughts?

Ran it like the factory. I ended up getting a Mity Vac to bleed it.

Hate brake bleeding. I found that not using all the vacuum the Mity Vac can create gave me the best results. When I pumped it up a lot, I got a lot of bubbles and my admittedly crude logic says that I was creating more in the line by cavitation. So I went a little more slowly and had it done in a couple minutes.
