Quick question (I was just reading my Mity Vac manual) about depressurizing the ABS system---is this necessary or advisable?---and if I do that (disconnect neg battery lead, then pump the brake lever/pedal 25-40 times, carefully open resevoir/master cylinder...) how do I repressurize the system afterwards?
Have you ever replaced the brake lines on your K75S fleet yourself?
Right, Lee, I'll be careful to avoid Pleasanton next time I have the bike on the mainland and am visiting family in Contra Costa County... ...I don't think they even allow non-red or non-yellow K-bikes through your town, do they?

I'll look into the ABS pressurization thing further and see what, if anything, I'll need to be aware of.
Since there are bleed nipples atop both modulators it seems that they ought to be bled. If the depressurizing can be accomplished by pumping the brakes about 50 times while the electrical circuits are disconnected then it should be a no-brainer, too. I'll wear my face mask, gloves and take plenty of precautions nonetheless. Btw, I got the widest roll of aluminum foil I could find.
In other developments I just ordered the Speiglers this morning. They were out of stock of the one color I wanted for the lines---Translucent Blue---so I decided on my close second choice, Smoke (with gold anodized fittings and banjo bolts). I also ordered the top line 1' longer so it won't be such a tight fit to my bar-backed bars.
Will let everyone know when they arrive and I get started. In the meantime, anyone care to comment on bleeding the ABS pots on a K75? I believe I read somewhere that they should be bled before the calipers...
