Default Custom/Home made Brake lines?

Hello, I have a 1983 FLHT with dual discs up front. I changed out my bars with 14 inch apes and am lightly customizing this bike with paint and other items....
Was wondering how possible it is to construct my own brake system from the master to the t-split, to the caliper lines. I think it would be totally rad to use brass fittings with braided line, but I don't know where to start looking except in J+P....
I am not a brake guy, I'm a painter by trade, so have some patience with my question should it be totally ignorant!
Any input would be greatly appreciated
