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
