Magnum Shielding, the upstate New York based brake line and control cable specialist, has introduced upper brake line options for 2019 and up Harley-Davidson Trikes.
The 2019 model was the first year Harley Trikes included ABS as standard equipment and there were no direct, OE fit aftermarket brake lines for those applications. "Given the rise in Trike popularity, we realized this was a great opportunity to design a new brake line that would fit like it was from the factory, but give you length options," said Magnum's GM Tom Vierthaler when AMD met him at the recent Drag Specialties, Louisville Dealer Expo.
"Many riders may want to change the height or style of their handlebars for comfort or looks, so we came up with a premium braid Designer Series Trike ABS mid-line, very similar to our Touring mid-line, with the exact bent tube assembly needed to fit the Trike ABS controller like a glove and give trouble-free installations.

"As with other of our Designer Series products, you need the mid-line and an upper brake line to complete the circuit from the ABS controller to the master cylinder.
"Just select the Trike ABS mid-line and then choose an upper brake line by banjo angle and length from our vast assortment of alternative brake line choices to get a fit that is tailored to the application."
Magnum's premium DOT brake lines are available in Sterling Chromite II and Black Pearl braid that match all other Magnum control cables and brake lines in color and weave. All fittings are highly polished and chrome or black chrome plated.
Magnum use inner PTFE tubing braided with DuPont Kevlar Aramid fiber reinforcement for its premium brake lines, a Signature Magnum over-braid and a crystal-clear outer PVC jacket that "offers exceptional protection against scuffing paint or chrome and will never discolor."
Offered as a lower-cost alternative to Magnum’s premium brake lines, stock to plus 10-inch length XR Stainless DOT brake lines are available in three color choices: clear-coated stainless steel line with chrome fittings and OE-style black braided line with chrome or black chrome fittings.

The XR Stainless DOT brake lines for 2019 and up Trikes complete the circuit from the ABS controller to the master cylinder exactly like the OE brake line, all in one continuous assembly. Magnum’s XR Stainless DOT brake lines share the same high-quality manifolds, tube assemblies and fittings found in its premium Designer Series brake lines - "the OE style construction uses all the fittings and tube assemblies essential for painless installations while delivering professional looking results," says Tom.
Made in-house at Magnum’s manufacturing plant, XR Stainless DOT brake line assemblies use an enhanced construction of heavy gauge stainless steel embedded in a tough, abrasion-resistant nylon outer jacket for superior durability.
Premium Designer Series and XR Stainless DOT brake lines are designed to be compatible with Harley-Davidson ABS requirements for stock and alternate length brake lines.
Magnum Shielding has been a Tier-1 manufacturer of matching braided products for over 38 years, including brake lines, control cables and ignition wires. Every Magnum Shielding brake line is pressure-tested and fully compliant with all DOT FMVSS-106 specifications and assembled in the USA.
