Extending Brake Line?

I just put a set of 13" apes on my 95 Electra Glide. I need a longer brake line for the front brakes.

Any suggestions?

Also, can I not just replace the line from the box with a longer line?

Measure the length of line you want. Go to a shop or do the Google-thing. Buy the length you need. Good names - Russell, Goodridge

I have a set of Goodridge hoses on my Glide, they make kits. If you have the stock pipe assembly on your bike the only practical way is to buy a complete set. That will include a manifold to go under your bottom tree, a hose for each caliper plus a hose to the bars.

If you already have a setup like that you should be able to simply buy a longer hose for your bars. Buy a ready made hose unless you are determined to make one up yourself from parts!
