Default front brake lines

so over the weekend i put some new bars on my ultra classic, the stock bars where horrible

took the time to do everything nice and neat, internal wired all 24 wires, yes it was a huge pia, but looks nice and clear, the only problem is the damn hard front brake line that is 1 piece top to calipers ( straigtened it to make it work for now unti i can find an alternative ) , so my question is is it possible to upgrade the front brake lines to the one's on 96-07? as the line to the master is a soft line and will look so much cleaner, this is the style im talking about, but will probably go braided stainless, for the looks.. thanks as always you guys are great

as you can see the front brake line is horrible

i would if it wasn't a metal hard line, see the front brake master cylinder line from the master is a rigid line until it gets inside fairing then it has about 6" of rubber, then rigid again until under the fork, where it splits to caipers

If the banjo bolt opening/ fitting is the same size on both lines where it connects to the master cylinder it should work.

When I went to dual disk I bought aftermarket braided flexible brake lines and fittings.

Just throw the entire front brake pipe set in the bin and buy a braided set. Sorted!
