Default Drag bars

I just bought drag bars for my 2014 sportster 48 and they do not fit even though j&p said they would. my brake lines hit. Has anyone else had this problem and if so how did you solve it.

what do you mean the lines hit? the line leaves your master cylinder then twists and turns to your caliper.

what is it hitting and where? maybe a picture?

You can bend it straight, if needed to. I has to do it to my 2011 Forty Eight.
