Where to get extended cables and lines?

Where to get extended cables and lines?
I've got an 06 1200 custom. It has the stock bars on it right now, but I bought a set of dyna bars for it so it would be a little wider and taller. I think I am going to need to get extended brake lines and cables. Where is the best place to get these at? Anyone know what I will need to extend and how long with they need to be extended. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

RE: Where to get extended cables and lines?
Put the bars on and then just measure for your lines. You can getvinyl or braided lines, black or stainless at tons of places. www.jpcycles.com , www.denniskirk.com or any number of online sources that deal with www.dragspecialties.com or www.customchrome.com
I've got barnett and russel lines/cables from both dennis kirk (avg. price) and best pricerecently on throttle/idle cables I replaced was for barnett's through drag. spec. ordered from http://www.discountcycleparts.com/(my throttle/idle cables for SS braided were about $34 ea. to give ya an idea).
People can tell you what they used all day long but unless you put the bars on your risers and measure for your given hgt. of setup based on bar hgt., pullback and riser hgt. (also factor how you route them)you wont get the right length.
You should be able to replace all your lines with bradied for $130-170 or with vinyl for about $75+.
On my 06 1200C for example... my setupusing mini-apes (10" up)on 3" straight risersI ended up with about a 59" clutch cable, 38" thottle/idle cables and 44" brake line. When I did it I mocked it all up (bars and new rises on the bike)and then stretched some wire over the route each cable would take then measured them to determine best length for my application.
Good luck.
