You're going to have to make one from a kit. I made mine from a kit from Dennis Kirk. The bottom lines and the splitter are standard, the length from the splitter to the MC you have to figure out.

I have 9.5 inch apes and went with 8" over clutch and brake lines, 6" over throttle cables, just the right length. I used a Goodridge brakeline, you can get them from jcwhitney or many other places online for 12" over, dual disk too, would probably be right for you. The hd dealer, actually 2 of them were convinced I needed "NO MORE THAN" 4" over cables when I gave them the part number for my bars! So be sure you measure your own stuff.
