Drag Specialties Extended Front Brake Line Kit For Harley XL883C / XL1200C / XL1200N 2004-2012
Custom Height, Total Control: Drag Specialties Extended Front Brake Line
When you change the bars on your Sportster, the stock brake line is usually the first thing to reach its limit. The Drag Specialties Extended Front Brake Line Kit allows you to complete your handlebar project on 2004–2012 XL Custom and Nightster models without the risk of a stretched or binding hydraulic line. Beyond the extra length, the move from rubber to stainless steel braiding provides a massive upgrade in braking feedback and safety.
Performance Construction for Custom Builds
Drag Specialties utilizes a multi-layer design that far exceeds the pressure ratings and durability of original equipment:
Teflon (PTFE) Inner Core: The inner liner is a low-expansion Teflon tube compatible with all DOT brake fluids. It remains stable under high heat and ensures a fast, direct path for fluid to reach your caliper.
Stainless Steel Braided Exterior: The high-tensile stainless steel weave acts as a rigid sleeve, preventing the line from “ballooning” when you pull the lever. This results in a crisp, immediate “bite” and eliminates the spongy feel typical of older Sportster brakes.
Non-Abrasive Clear Coat: To protect your bike’s paint, chrome, and headlight bucket, the entire line is encased in a UV-resistant clear jacket. This keeps the stainless steel looking polished while preventing it from scratching nearby components.
Tailored Fitment for the XL Platform
This kit is specifically measured to accommodate the unique configurations of the 2004–2012 Sportster era:
Extended Length Options: These kits are typically available in lengths ranging from +2″ to +10″ over stock, allowing you to find the perfect fit for everything from mild risers to tall ape hangers.
Chrome-Plated Fittings: Features precision-engineered, chrome-plated steel fittings that match your Harley’s original aesthetics for a seamless, factory-quality appearance.
Model Specific: Engineered for the single-disc front ends of the XL883C, XL1200C, and XL1200N, ensuring the correct banjo angles at both the master cylinder and the caliper.
Note: Always ensure the line has enough slack to allow for full suspension extension and lock-to-lock steering rotation.
