Cool Braided cables question

I am looking to change my cables over to braided,but having a hard time finding the front brake line for 08 Fatboy.I want it to match,as in the same manufacter.Drag speciatlies only has the front brake line listed up to 07 for the FLSTF.Will this fit the 08?
Any help would be appreciated with which cable/lines that would work the best.

Someone said in an earlier post that they couldn't tell the difference between the Drag Specialties cables and the HD Diamondback cables.
I just ordered all my Diamondback cables for my 08 Fatboy yesterday from HD. The part number for the upper brake line is 44964-07 and lower brake line is 42371-07.

If it is brake line you're talking about, I went with single piece and 90 degree on both elbows.

If you get the Magium Chromite II's, your actually getting the HD Diamondbacks under their name.
When I visited them to get mine (they are in town here) I found out that they are the people who make the Diamondbacks for Harley. They just don't put the black covering over the lower half of the clutch cable the way they do for Harley.

Stick with what Mimo said, a one piece brake line means there are that many fewer places for leaks to show up later.

Chromite II and Diamondback clutch cable, can you tell which is which? I can't and I took the pic.
