'08 FLHT with the Brembos, non ABS.....any tips or tricks as to a plan of attack on swapping out the front brake lines? I have a good idea as to what I want to do but looking for friendly input from those that have done this!

Thanks

 

I'll be watching this as I just placed an order for their black pearl lines. It seems pretty straight foward though. Line from master cylinder to divider under tree, then two lines to each caliper.

 

Got that!

I am just wondering, do you drain the lines before disconnecting them or just install the tubes, crack the valve and pump the handle untill the MC is empty...... Looking for ideas on that portion of the install.

 

When I purchased my lines from Johnny Vaughn, he told me to unscrew one caliper line and let the MC drain out, that way when the other caliper line is unscrewed, only what is in that line will drain out. Also, make sure you remove the cover from the MC. Really, I don't see what the difference is. It's all coming out and being replaced anyways.

Do not remove the cap from the M/C at this point
However do remove one line from the calipers and place it in a container to capture the flluid...Then do the other side the same way...
then when you have both containers secure remove the cap which will then break the vaccume in the M/C and allow the fluid to drain into you containers...
