Changing bars.

[Martz]

Hi guys. I've just bought a 2010 Fat Bob to keep the XR1200 company and to give my knees a break. The bars currently fitted are I think 14" high bars on 2" risers. I've located a set of standard drag bars and risers complete with clutch and throttle cables but still need to obtain a front brake hose from the master cyl to the splitter under the bottom yoke. Does anyone know where I can find the part number? TIA.

Jersey H-D is the easiest site for finding part numbers.

Looks like it's only available as the whole thing from master cylinder to calipers.

3 line kit from Goodridge is £140. HEL and Venhill may also sell kits.

Or you could create a two line "race" system direct from m/cyl to calipers using Venhill Powerhose Plus or Goodridge Buildaline or custom lines from HEL/Venhill/Goodridge/whoever.

I assume that there are also (US) aftermarket options.

Thanks for that Gareth. That's a bit ouch. Looking at this image, it appears that it's a conventional splitter under the yoke. Venhill made up some lines for my old GSX a few years ago. Decent quality and a good price. The only other issue is Harleys passion for mixing thread sizes. Could be either a 10 or 12mm. I was trying to be organised and get everything ready for when the dealer delivers it, hopefully this weekend. I'll just have to be patient. Not my best virtue.

Good news, then. You can just replace the top line. Any local shops that can make one up? Last time I needed a brake line I found a guy about a mile from my house who supplied a couple of banjos and a length of hose from the screw-together Goodridge Buildaline series. That was for a Triumph, though, so no different sizes or metric/unified issues.

Fingers crossed that it will be an easy fix.
