SG front brake lines.

Here is the deal with ABS. Look at Magnum brake lines they come in a 3 piece unit. One line will go from the master cylinder down in the fairing and connect up to another line(upper line) that will go to the ABS box under the side cover(middle line). The third line will go from the ABS box back to the front of the bike following the factory routing and mount under the lower triple tree just liked the factory set up and down to the calipers(lower line). What I really like about Magnum is that the third line is one piece you don't have to worry about it leaking under the triple tree like most kits. The second thing I like about Magnum is the fact that once you install this set up and you decide to change out the bars all you have to do is buy a new short line that goes from the master cylinder down into the fairing and hooks up to what they call the mid line. I bought mine through Dr. V-Twin and got the black pearl.

I just changed my brake lines when I did my bar swap. Everything missile says is correct. The upper line is modular (two piece) and the lower line is one piece. Got my lines from Lakeshore online for 20% off and they still cost me over $300. They look nice and should for that much money.
When you buy the top line from the master cylinder, there are some angle choices to make. I chose 90 degree so the line follows the bars better. I also got the matching clutch cable.

I went with Magnum, too.
I also have ABS.
I changed my lines, loaded the bike on the trailer, took it to the dealership and they were happy to bleed them for me using the Digital Technician.
I was charged for 1/2 hour labor and had no prob paying for it.
REMEMBER...if you change them yourself, you have DOT 4 in the lines. This stuff IS corrosive to paint! Cover everything!
