I'm swapping out my stock front brake master cylinder for the chrome HD kit.  I've never done any work the motorcycle brakes or brake components and would like to know the best way to go about doing this project.  I know that the brake fluid is DOT5 and i have that already.  Any help is very appreciated.  Thanks.

Answer
first off I would Buy a Factory Harley Davidson Service manual. This is needed for torque spec's. There are also pics for you to refur you to what you are trying to do. You have to loosen up the switch housing screws and then remove the screws to remove the master cylinder,now remove the brake line.and do the reverse order to reinstall new master cylinder. fill new master cylinder and put cover on and pump brakes and hold brake lever to the grip and loosen up bleed screw on caliper and then retighten bleeder screw and do this untill the brakes are pumped full and then refill master cylinder.
