Well, turns out not the drivers brake line as part h620066 is not the same as h622066. Turns out reading is important
Anyone have any secret tips on getting the front currie springs in without removing control arms again?
Id rather not screw around with spring compressors, and the LCAs are already hitting the shock mount when fully drooped, stopping it from coming down more.

Well, good progress!
Installed steering, springs, front track bar (sort of), and got the wheels on. When installing the expensive mr.blaine track bar bolt, I managed to strip the nut and bolt. Ordered a new one, and Mr. Blaine called me to tell me exactly what I did wrong which was incredible, given i gave him not information besides I stripped it out, and he was right. Its like he's installed a few of these or something.
Started pulling the back half apart now. Hoping I can get the back axle released a bit faster, as its my daily driver (jk)
Its sort of crazy tall now. 39" seat height motorcycle for reference.

What about it is mega, besides the price?
I had the flag nut pointing down. Mr. Blaine explained it should be pointing straight up. How that causes it to strip, I dont know, must not sit flat that direction.
Also installed the swaylock, which is basically just installed with a hammer.
The little install stud sucks, and just bends the washers into a cone shape.

I am not convinced you used this. I didn't think it was possible to use such a item without getting it literally everywhere. No sacrificial rag, not even a print on the dew can, who is this man? LOL
Ahh, thats the brake grease container. The antiseize is on the otherside. There is a handprint on the wall

BTW, dont want flex on all of you, but I took my upper shock bolts out dry, came out with a small ratchet. No rust. 
Some do, some don't. That's a pinion depth shim between the pinion head and bearing. Use that thickness as your starting point.
