Default Brake Lines - Conversion to Floorboards

I almost have my conversion kit together for floorboards. I am not sure about brake lines. 1995 FXSTC

The stock Harley assemblies include a middle section that allows the use of a brake light sensor. The aftermarket lines don't seem to have that which means that I have to connect the lines.

I have an Accel 80030 which is supposed to be the Harley 40957-87B but it only goes from the brake master cylinder to the front of that sensor assembly. The question is whether it's compatible with the FXSTC version.

Attached are the assembly photos. Will I be able to use this brake line or do I need some kind of adapter or other assembly?

Here's the brake line as it is. Is this a male thread, female thread or some kind of permanently crimped on line (from this part to the master cylinder)? I won't know until I take it apart and then there's no return at that point.

You could always use a switched banjo bolt. Just wire it in. Are you going to rebuild the master or caliper while it's apart?
