Default Brake Line Question

I'm looking to replace the crap-tastic metal line brakes (front) on my heritage. From wheel to lever measures 44". I'm looking for either a stainless or stainless black. Can anyone point me in the right direction? HD's site is like a quagmire to navigate...

Im beginning to figure out that most Harley dealers dont know dick about their parts other than what it says in the catalogue. If the catalogue doesnt say how long a cable is, they have no frign idea. I have heard good things about their diamondback cables though. Ive also heard good things about Magnum cables, and you can find them all over ebay. Drew at Dr. V-twin sells the magnum cables. Perhaps send him a PM. He always responds quickly. Ive tried asking HD how long their cables are and like I said, they dont know dick.

Measure from the caliper to the first junction on the lower triple clamp, this should be a standard length unless some one changed it to compensate for a lowered front end. Then measure from the lower triple clamp to the reservoir, this is the usual variable in the overall length. With these number you can get exactly what you want from either a dealer or 3rd party supplier.
