Default steel braided brake lines. Place to buy?

I just got a set of risers and need longer brake lines, might as well upgrade them to braided right?

I went from 4" to 9" risers. So I order stock length +5" right?

If I want to be safe, can I order stock +8" incase I ever want to go 12" risers?

So where is a cheap place to buy?

Here's a good reason to use magnum. Bought a used rocker, did some mods, ordered +3 fwd controls. Ordered lines +3 from Magnum. 2 months later when I go to put them on, they are too short. Called magnum, sent in the line I took off and the new one. Turns out my rocker already had aftermarket extended lines. They sent me a new line no questions asked.

Got black pearl braided brake line from Magnum Shielding and it look better than Oprah on the toilet after a Taco Bell feast... to be honest though anything looks better than that.

They do look great however.

The magnums are nice but if you live in a humid area be careful. Ive seen numerous instances where the braiding is oxidizing under the clear sheath. Hence the reason im running barnett stealtb cables.

Here's a couple



The clutch cable is the Harley black diamond one (got it for $40 installed due to the dealer's mistake) which looks almost identical to the Magnum Shielding black pearl brake line I have on there. Some day I will get the throttle lines too but the stock ones work for now and are black so I said screw it and left them like they are.
