Default 2008 XL1200N Front Brake Cable

My sister has me working on her bike (2008 XL1200N). She wants to extend the handlebars towards her because she is only 5' 2". She bought the riser but now we need to replace the front brake cable. I don't want to bend the metal part of the cable that goes under the forks to make it longer as some have done.

Where can I buy a longer cable that is stainless steel line in black to accommodate the length difference?

Thanks!

I got my cables/break lines from Magnum Sheilding. Check them out on line they may have what you need.

Thanks guys. We ended up finding a Harley shop here that will make the cable and install it for about $150.
