Check to see if they both have the same diameter axle. Harley went from a 7/8 inch diameter axle to a 1 inch diameter axle sometime around that time period.

SOURCE: I just purchased a 2008 Street Glide and the brake

Make sure the brake master cylinder is positioned firmly back against the switch housing. Loosen the two bolts that hold the master cylinder onto the handlebars and slide it back against the switch as firmly as possible. If this does not correct the problem, you must replace the front brake switch inside the throttle/switch housing.

SOURCE: need to replace rear brakes on 2008 street glide

it's pretty straight forward. remove saddle bag, remove the 2 allen bolts that hold the caliper to bracket slide caliper up off of disc. then remove the small 3/16 allen bolt this is the pad pin that hold the pad. before you remove the pads turn caliper upside down and with a large screwdriver put it betweenthe old pads and trist it to push the piston back in the caliper this will give you room for the new pads. then just lift the old pads out and put in the new and reinstall the pad pin and caliper back on bracket install the 2 bolts removed first and tighten good. if you need any more help just ask.

Try loosening the bolts holding the front master cylinder on the handlebars. Slide the master cylinder down as close as possible to the right handlebar switch housing. If this doesn't work, the front brake light switch is probably bad and needs to be replaced in the right switch housing.

Good luck
Steve

2011 Harley Davidson FLHX Street Glide bleed front brakes

First and foremost, has the wrong brake fluid being used when the master cylinder was replaced? DOT 4 is the correct fluid for these bikes or DOT 5.1. Do not use under any circumstance DOT 5.0 as this is a silicone based fluid and will turn to a jelly like substance after a while. It can also ruin your ABS module. DOT 5 is coloured purple (at least HD fluid is). Open the top cover of the master cylinder and inspect this. I have got seized ABS modules in the past due to poor servicing (brake fluid must be changed every two years as it absorbs water (DOT 5.0 does not)) causing corrosion in the module.
