Motorcycle Repair: Front Brake line replacement, 1200c sportster, bleeder valve

Question
Mike
bought a 48 inch front braided brake line for a 05 1200C sportster.  Just wanted to know the steps to replace the line. Thanks Joe

Answer
Remove the old line and install the new on. Fill the master cylinder with DOT5 brake fluid. Pump the brakes and while holding the brake lever down, open the bleeder valve. Close the bleeder valve and pump the brake lever and open it again. Keep doing this until you get fluid running out.
remember, you are working with a very small hole in the master cylinder so it will take a while to bleed. Do not let the master cylinder go dry. Keep it filled with brake fluid
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
