Harley hasn't used a brake cable on a bagger since 1971.

Beat me to it.

Id use the one that goes from the master ALL the way to the caliper.

Use a piece of 12ga wire to route where you want it to go then measure the wire, that will be the length YOU need!

Not trying to be a smart ***. Measure it yourself, because you'll find some bad information mixed in with the good stuff here. Measuring things is a good habit to get into. It'll save you tons of problems over the years. Why trust someone else's measurment when you can easily do it yourself and be sure?
