INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not allow the master cylinder to completely drain of brake fluid at any time during this process. Doing so
may require removing the master cylinder from the vehicle for bench bleeding. Also, use care when handling brake fluid, as it can
quickly damage finished surfaces (paint, plating, etc.).
1. Begin by inspecting and noting the position and
routing of the factory brake lines.
2. Remove the factory brake line distribution blocks
from under the lower triple-tree, as well as the guide
brackets on each side of the fender.
3. Remove the original line from the master cylinder,
then the two hard lines from the small junction block
on the right side of the frame just forward of the fuel
tank ( “Left” and “Right” is defined while sitting on
the bike.)
4. Replace the small junction block with the one
supplied in the kit, noting the orientation of the bolt
hole, and reconnect the factory hard lines to the
corresponding locations.

right side of the distribution block where the
incoming lines from the master cylinder and from the
small junction block will be stacked on top of the
lines running to the right side caliper (Fig. 2).
8. Connect the remaining two Russell lines to the small
junction block and master cylinder as labeled. port
“A” to small junction block, port “B” to front brake
master cylinder on handlebars.
5. Disconnect the four factory brake lines from the
calipers and remove the brake line assembly.
6. Bolt the new distribution block under the triple-tree.
Using the supplied banjo bolts and new crush
washers, install the new lines onto the proper ports
of the distribution block, with the angle of the banjo
fittings directing the lines outward (Fig. 1).
NOTE: The block and lines are labeled A,B,C, & D. Be
sure to match the labeled hose end to the
corresponding block port.
