Need new front brake line - Suggestions?

Hey guys,

I need a new front brake line. I put on some sporty 48 handlebars, and had to bend my brake line.. well, now my front brake is completely out. No biggie.. I needed a new one anyway, and I'm WAY passed needing to bleed my brakes. So its fine.

But anyway, I need a new brake line now. Any recommendations? I would like a brake line that is rubber all the way through, instead of that big metal line piece in the middle, if you know what I mean? Kinda hard to explain..

Help!

Thanks fella's,
Adrian

Is it called a braided line? Is that what I'm looking for?

Check out Magnum cables and brake lines. They might have what you are looking for.

Well, I have NO idea what length I need..

Whats the length of stock 06 street bob front brake line?

I have sporty 48 handlebars on now.. so what size do you guys think I'll need?
Also, am I able to put on just any brake line? I'm seeing a lot of model specific brake lines. Does it really matter?

Sorry if I sound like a moron.. never touched this stuff before.
