Default Brake line length for 08 Deluxe?

The only place with pink brake lines does not have the specs for anything past a 2006 Deluxe. They want me to take them off and ship them to them so they can make custom ones.

I figure someone here must know the lengths without me having to do that.

Anyone?

08 is probably the same as 06 but the actual measurement of a front 08 Deluxe brake like from center of one eyelet to the other is 43". I ordered a +6 one from Magnum Shielding for my wife's 08 Deluxe and it's listed as a 50" line. So you'll probably be safe if you go 44-45. More is definitely better. Make sure they measure the line the same way (center to center) I assume they know what the stock clocking is.

But hopefully, you'll find someone to talk you out of the pink idea

Actually I am going to go with white. My bike will be pink and white by Spring and the white will probably look better.

I got a headache from looking at all those choices on the plug page. When are we going to see some pics of your bike?

Yeah I was overwhelmed by those choices, that's why I need some help. I guess I really should find me a local trustworthy shop who could help me out with all this.

My bike is in storage right now for the winter and all this work will be done by the time I pick her up in April. Gives me something to do all winter, planning all this out

For now, here's what it looks like. I guess this will be the official "before" pic. The bags are already sold and HD hard bags are on the way to replace them. The V&H pipe is coming off tomorrow and the Samson True Duals go on. I should ask if I can snap some pics of the progress.

She's real purdy. A set of chrome forks would really set off that red and really make the bike pop
