Brake lines

Titles name the series, then the fitment. About 100 say ABS-Specific, such as the Designer Series ABS-Specific upper line for '15-'24 Road Glide Special, and about 50 say Non-ABS, like the Alternate Length Designer Series Non-ABS front upper line kit. The XR Stainless Extreme Response front kits run by model and year, for example the Sportster kit for '87-'10 and the Dyna kit for '08-'17. KARBONFIBR lines include the lower line for the '08-'17 Fat Bob.

Separate listings cover the Hydraulic Control Unit brake line for '14-'23 Electra Glide models and universal lines, such as the braided universal brake line and the Universal XR brake line.
