Default Wild 1 WO578 10" install ?

Decided to go with the W1 578's over KW 2+2 for my next bars. I already put a +4 clutch line and TBW extender on my current KW +2 sweepers so I'm set there. Now, I read where the stock upper brake line works by swiveling the fitting. I'm pondering a +2 or +4 to make it a bit cleaner and less taut. Would a +4 be too sloppy? They're both the same cost. Thoughts? Thank

All that is needed is take it out of the present straps under the tank and tie it to the wire loom just below. Mine worked fine.

No brake line extension here either. The only thing I ended up extending was the clutch cable. The stock cable would have worked but I didn't like the way it had to be routed to make it work.
