Default Brake line help for 12" ape's

I have a set of 12 x 1 1/4" bars ( Khromewerks 300411 ) coming to install . I have the bike torn down and it looks as though I'm going to have to add at least 4" to the top section of my brake line . I've been searching some of the online stores , I'm seeing all kinds of options out there but not sure which direction to go .

I thought about just doing the top section , but I'm not sure if that's even an option . I'll go with a complete set if I have to . Going to go with steel braided and will do the clutch line as well .

Any advice or manufacture on which one I should go with ?

Thanks for the response , I have seen that manufacture offered , but never heard of them , I will definitely give them a look see .

I decided , since the bike 10 years old , it's probably a good idea just to replace the entire assembly .

Thank-you ! Just checked it out , unfortunately they're out of stock on both steel / black on the +4" . When my bars do come in , I'll have to measure them up and see if +2" will work . I have the stock lines on now with a set of 10" mini apes , no prob .
