Extended brake line question....
I need to extend my brake lines to reach the apes i installed last fall on my 1999 Dyna Low Rider and in the process of tearing apart the front end, the line leading up to the master cylinder bent and broke on me. Ive never changed out brake lines so my question is...
Do I need to find an entire stock dual front brake line kit with the upper and lower lines to swap out the broken one with or does a universal kit get rid of that part that screws in under the tree? The lines on JPCycle all have a nut on the lines that gets tightened to another line so It seems like I have to do away with my current setup but Im really not sure.
I really have no clue what im looking at or where to begin with extending my lines right now so any help is greatly appreicated! Thank you!

pretty sure the universal kit is only for single disc systems. You need to buy a dual disc setup that has a new splitter (thing under your trees) Check out magnum shielding.
btw, the only line that nedes to be extended is the brake line from the master cylinder to that splitter/diverter.

Would I be better off buying the whole stock system on ebay and just crimping a longer line on? or what do you think?

I went with the HD Diamondback lines, 2pc system.. allows me to only replace one half of the line, if I ever need to.
Do you need to go longer up to your m/c now, with the apes? .. stock may not work then.... but if you think so, the p/n is: 45111-96.
