Extended Brake Lines
Brake lines are available in many different lengths , types , etc. etc.
Go to your indy or look up your local Goodridge Dealer. You can buy just about any length and the fittings come in straight, 90 degree, 45 degree and 30 degree bends. Twin disc set ups usually use a T Piece that bolts under the lower triple tree.
To work out the length you need you can use a thick cable, like a long extension lead.

The word 'extended' isn't suitable when brake lines are involved! If you have changed handlebars you may need longer ones, which in turn will involve binning the stock pipes if your bike still has them. They cannot be readily dismantled or extended and it is not wise, practical or feasible to extend them to make them longer. There are several brands of brake hose manufacturers who make suitable ready-made sets for your bike, including Goodridge as mentioned, and you may find a local indy (or race shop?) who can make you a set from components.
Thanks for the replies. I'm wanting to put some 12" apes on my bike and I was thinking the lines and junction block for the front were all one piece. After looking a little closer I'm guessing that under the heat shrink looking stuff that there are connectors that separate the different sections of the line. Almost all of my parts I have to order online. I live in southern IL and there are no indy shops around my area. The nearest dealerships are all at least an hour away.

The connectors are crimped and you cannot replace parts of the stock lines.
Now don't go all Grammar **** on us Mr B...extended is the word that is most commonly used in the trade to describe longer brake lines or switch wiring.
Look on line for Goodridge or HEL dealers, I've used both brands over the years. You're after a braided hose set I suggest. Email or phone to make sure you get the right length for your bars.
