Well that was a wasted afternoon!..Riser Install.


Sounds like a plan. According to the parts breakout the banjo bolt is an M10 X 20 mm. It looks like the one @Claviger is showing would work.

I'll order one as it's worth a try. It sound like any air in the line will rise to the top according to @Navigator. He didn't say what he specifically did the next day after he opened the valve. Do you release the lever while the valve is open? Do you need to squeeze the lever? I expect he will chime in with more specifics.
 
You just bleed as normal. Pull lever, hold, crack valve, close valve after air bleeds out. Repeat as necessary until you’ve a firm lever feel.

Or cheat

Use a vacuum bleeder

Thanks...I did buy a vacuum bleeder and parts have been ordered. We'll see how it pans out when they get here.
 
I fabricated one of these cable guides today out of some 5/32 stainless rod. I had something very similar on my Valkyrie that the cables rode in. They worked really well and they gave the cable some room to move around with out binding. It should work well if I bring that brake line behind the tree.

I figured I could drill and tap a hole on the flat located on the inside of the top tree and mount it with a 10-32 button head screw. They can be flexed enough to put the cable inside. I may make the loop a little bigger next time, but at least I know I can make them and they won't look like crap.

You fitting risers...I ask because I know you like to ride hard. Will this straighter upright position suit you...just wondering?
 

Would be good to post annotated either photo of the bike or page from the manual showing where you are talking about what.
 
Seems to be a big hassle on the ABS bikes. My 2010 just needed to reroute the clutch next to the triple tree (though I picked up new custom cables a while later to route them properly.)

2 inches back isn't that big a difference, on a Touring you don't really lean forward anyway without them, you're just in just so much forward lean that it gets annoying and you feel a little perched over the tank. 2 inches back for me at least was perfect, could straighten the back and let my arms relax and hang down and forward at an angle I'm comfy in for... well, the record is 27 hours.
