Default Fatbob front brake lines.

Anyone know the correct fittings for a 2008 Fatbob? I'm putting taller risers on, about 3" taller. I measured the stock lines and figure that I need 20" lowers and a 24" upper. I have been looking at the Russell Cycleflex stainless line kits. I can find some that are close in those lengths, but all the different angles and stuff has me confused.
Thanks.

I ended up putting 8 inch risers on my fat bob. I went to harley, they ordered a new set that was four inches bigger than stock

I have only seen the Russel Cycleflex kits for Metrics?

I would suggest that you use a Russell or Goodridge tee fitting under your lower tree. this will mean a 4 piece system for you (upper line, tee, 2 lower lines).
The advantage is - you can change the handlebars/risers in the future, and only need to replace the upper line

Double that request for more pics.
I am also thinking of taller risers, but would like to keep the stock black look.
