Doing the chrome front end so I figured the brake line would finish it off. I planned on waiting (if possible) to do the upper when I change the bars.

 

I installed a 16" ape kit from HCC. Went to bleed the brakes and heard air coming from the ABS block. Brake line broke at the fitting. It was a universal brake line from Drag Specialties (# 1741-2744). I called some local shops and no one had one. The last shop I called said that it's not safe to use a universal line with ABS. Says they won't hold up and said I needed a one piece crimped fitting line. Is this true ? It makes sense as the other one broke at the fitting before I even got the brakes bled. I'm on a 2010 SG.

While I'm here anything special needed to bleed the brakes on a ABS bike ?
