Change my brake line?

     I'm useless with rulers, and most tools in general for that matter.  I fail at assembling IKEA furniture.

    I have a 2012 883 Iron.  I'm running Friscos right now.  7" rise.  I'm OK with the stock brake line, but I have bent it a bit to make it reach.  I'm adding a 2" riser to the bars.  I'm hesitant in thinking the stock line will still fit.  So, anyone point me to what length cable I should be looking at going with?  I think the throttle/clutch cables should reach.

    Appreciate any info!

    have a look at the thread in General Discussions. It gives you what was stock and a rough formula for calculating the new length depending on the changes you make.

    Its only rough, but will give you a bit of an idea.

    Any idea if a silicone based brake fluid would work in a Harley?

    Use the hd one for 8" bars, diamond black braided. Dot 4 brake fluid is fine.
