Default longer brake line ?

Ok guys here my situation, I just added 4" HD pullback risers to my 2008 heritage classics. The brake line is a bid tight, now it does move ok from side to side but can only move handlebars up so high. I was wondering/hoping someone here had the same problem and would like to here how you corrected it. My guess is just buy longer brake line. J&P cycles has a +6" to oem length brake line. Would like to here any and all suggestions/solutions.

Yes, longer brake line - and you might end up needing longer clutch and throttle also, and maybe to lengthen the wires as well.

There are kits for all this - J&P live chat can help you find exactly what you need for your application if you need the help.
