Default Extended brake line for ABS

I recently purchased a 2008 RoadKing with ABS. I want to replace the handlebars withbeach bars that require a 6 inch over clutch cable and brake line. No problem on the clutch but I can't find anyplace that has an extended brake line for ABS. The stock upper brake line is 62 inches since it runs from the master cylinder under the tank to the right rear side pannel where the ABS modual sits. I would need an upper brake line 68 inches long with a 90 degree bango fitting on the master cylinder end. Do any of you brake experts know where I could get one? Would extending th brake line affect the operation of the ABS? Thanks.

Tom

I don't believe that they have anything yet for that. I do know that you can no longer bleed the brakes yourself with the ABS as the dealer needs to use the Digital Tech tool to bleed them because of the ABS.
