I need an extended brake line stock disc brake calipers  total lenght 52-54 inches. the one on there now is 48 inches probably longer than stock due to the xtened front end. Finishing up install of 16 inch ape hangers. inside dia 1/8  od 3/16  with 1/8 -24 flare nut both ends.  been on most sites and the new stuff  all banjo nut ends any one got ideas of where to fine this ?

Jireh catalog. Might require some new fittings. If you need me to I'll get the page numbers when I get home tonight.

I'm not sure how the ends are on your line or whether they're rubber or braided but consider you only need a few inches and can add a rigid section to the line between the line and the master cylinder or at the other end.  You can buy or make it up yourself.  Really depends on the looks you need to end up with.  For instance you could probably buy a chromed up 6 inch section and run it down to your current line with the right ends and/or fittings.

Like Ricochet said, I bent some Sstl Swagelock 1/4" tubing to follow the contour of my handlebars.

I want to replace the whole cable, its messed up and trying to extend it would be more of a problem, i learned if i get a 45 degree double flaring  tool I can make my own the only thing now is to see if the braided hose line will accept the male 1/8 - 24 flare nut its taking some research  but i am putting this bike together on the cheap and spending  60 bucks for a braided line and a couple fitting  is well
