Default DIY soft handlebar brake line

So I'm sick of fussing with the rigid portion of my front brake line. Is there an easy way to swap out that section only without having to get a whole front brake kit? Thanks

Not that I am aware of. Best off simply ordering a new brake line, from Goodridge through JP Cycles, in the length you need with proper fittings.
