Hand Controls and Brake Lines - '95 FLHR
Hey fella's. Everybody ready for dumb question time? 
I'm in the process of putting diff. bars on the bike and have everything taken care of for the wiring etc. However when I took everything apart all of my bolts were seized on my controls. I had to dremel the bolts to get the controls off the old bars which puts me in need of new:
1. Clutch Perch
2. Master Cylinder/ Brake Perch
3. Throttle side switch housing
Were there any changes from the '94-95's to the '96 and up touring bikes? Other than cruise control and radio options as far as perches and controls go?
Also, I got my clutch cable, wiring (Going internal) and throttle cables squared away but I need to extend my brake line. Can I just re-do the section where the rubber brake line is and extend just that section? I dont want to go stainless the whole way and this seems like a pretty easy option.
Thanks guys

Look around,ebay or craigslist.I had a slight accident last fall and broke the front brake perch which is also part of the master cylinder.Got one off ebay but found out after I got it,it used different brake fluid.My buddy had a sporty that he had switched out stuff awhile and had the correct one....I got that for a couple beers! There's a marking inside the master cylinder,like 9/16 or another number,you need to match that and the type of brake fluid.The other side should be a simple swap.As for the brake line,I think you just have to go down to the "T"(if you have dual discs.Be sure to bleed the lines.

I came upon the same problem when I went to miniapes, the cost isn't so much, if you have access to a double flaring tool you can get by like I did for a while, looks like dog doo doo but you can ride in the mean time.
