Not sure how long the stock one is...but, Summitracing.com has stainless steel braided brake lines up to either 48 or 60 inches (can't remember the max size.)  You might also be able to just add an extension with the correct fittings.  How short did you end up?

If you want to have a really proper fit and the best function possible then you should custom order the brake line.  I use Barnett Performance Products for all of the custom units I have ordered for many folks here.  If you are just wanting to order a single brake line without changing the throttle and clutch cables then you would likely be a few dollars ahead by making the order yourself vs me doing it for you.
It is easy to do and I will provide the part numbers necessary and who to contact (there are two guys who do virtually all of the custom cable orders) if you wish to do this.  
One thing you NEED TO DO is to set up the bars you are going to use on the bike and take a cord or thin wire and run it from brake res. attachment point all the way down to the caliper attachment point (include the threads on both ends in the measurements), following the exact route you want the brake line to take.  Mark or cut the cord/wire to the exact length as it sits on the bike, then remove it and lay it out on a flat table and measure it's exact length.  You also need to note the type of hardware on each end of the stock setup, ie the angles if any of those ends.  The caliper end is usually a straight piece, and the  bar end has an angled hardware piece, which varies depending on the model year of the bike.  When in doubt, measure the angle.
Of the new hardware available there are several sizes and angles available.

The brakes lines are stainless braid which look and work great.   The basic black lines cost as much as the stainless and usually take longer to get them since they don't do very many of them and typically have to special order some of the parts for it whereas the parts for the stainless braid are kept stocked since they are used daily for the vast majority of their orders.  Sounds odd I know, but that is the way it is.

Expect $55 +/-  plus $10 shp

You can go to an aftermarket shop that has Harley parts you can get braided stainless hoses in 2" increments.You will also need 2 banjos.Harley brake lines are metric also.Lancer is right about the price though 50-60 bucks for all.That's how I did my '87 with the apehangers.

Goodridge is who makes the aftermarket one I'm using.Line was $37.00 banjos were $10.00 ea.

And better than the approx. $70 for an OEM one that would fit the bars.

Do you have the original banjo bolts?  You should be able to use them.  Most aftermarket lines come with new seal washers and if you have those be sure to use them but you sure can re-use the original bolts.  If you don't have the new washers you can re-use the old ones if you are careful they normally won't recomend it.  If you do just check to make sure they are sealed when you are done.

Check any aftermarket shop(Harley,custom)Not a new bike stealership.
