Thanks,

The clamps for the 4 hoses mounted to the lower fork clamp will need to be re-positioned. I have used 2" extensions and this was a simple task.

Yes the brake lines are long enough. When you are reassembling the front end and before bolting on the calipers, install the front wheel, less the fender, and lower the bike so that there is enough weight on the front to compress the front forks. If you don't, you will think the brake lines aren't long enough, but they are and will have ample length for the full range of travel of the front forks. We've installed hundreds of them and all my GL1800 6 degree rake kits come with 2" extensions. We also sell them separately on our [URL="http://www.cutnshootcustoms.com/rake-kits-1.html"]Cut N Shoot Customs[/URL] website for those that may need them.
