Fat Baggers Brake Hydraulic Line
Fat Baggers Brake Hydraulic Line Extensions: Engineered for Taller Handlebars
When Harley-Davidson riders go taller on their handlebars, the stock brake hydraulic line rarely has the reach to match. Fat Baggers Inc. — the Iowa-based brand that has been defining the custom bagger scene since 2004 — engineered a purpose-built solution: bolt-on brake hydraulic line extensions that work with your existing lines rather than replacing them.
What sets Fat Baggers apart in this category is their proprietary manifold system. Rather than cutting into the factory brake line, the extension bolts directly onto the stock line, eliminating the need for a computer-based bleeding system and hours of labor. The result is a professional-quality installation that most riders can complete in minutes at home.
The EZ-Install Advantage: No Air, No Hassle
One of the most anxiety-inducing parts of any hydraulic brake job is the bleeding process — introducing air into the line can compromise braking performance and safety. Fat Baggers addresses this head-on with a built-in one-way valve speed bleeder integrated into each extension. To bleed the line, riders simply open the bleeder valve, attach a hose to a catch container, pump the lever 8–12 strokes, close the valve, and top off the fluid. This straightforward process does not introduce any air into the lower clutch or brake lines, keeping the integrity of the factory system intact.
Construction & Finish Options
Fat Baggers brake hydraulic line extensions are built with stainless steel overbraid for durability and a clean, purpose-built look. They are available in two popular finish options:
- Black — stainless steel overbraid with black PVC coating, ideal for blacked-out or dark custom builds
- Chrome — stainless steel overbraid with clear PVC coating for a traditional polished appearance
Extensions are offered in multiple lengths — including 20", 25", and 30" — and are spec'd for popular Harley-Davidson touring platforms such as the Road Glide, Street Glide, Electra Glide, and Road King. Because the extension can serve as either a brake line or a hydraulic clutch line extension, it offers genuine versatility when building out a taller handlebar setup.
Made in the USA, Built for the Long Haul
Fat Baggers manufactures all of its products in-house at a 35,000-square-foot facility in Chariton, Iowa, with dedicated machining, fabricating, and finishing capabilities. Every brake hydraulic line extension carries that same commitment to American craftsmanship. For riders who are serious about a clean, safe, and long-lasting taller bar installation, these extensions represent a straightforward upgrade that doesn't cut corners on braking safety.
