Default Help on brake line length

I'm put DWG bars on my Custom a while back. I'm going to do the same to the Low. The Low riser is 3" lower than the Custom. So the logical conclusion is to buy cables 3" shorter than the ones I used on the Custom.

The clutch and throttle cables are no brainers. I have the part numbers for those. But the brake line used for the Custom appears to be non-HD part number. Can anyone ID this: 46" braided brake line, (from my invoice from the dealer) part no. 1741-0330, $66-69?

I have a call in to the dealer that did the work for me on the first bike. Was told unofficially that they use Barnett Cables for their custom lengths that HD doesn't make an application for. I'll post part no's and info when I find out correct brake line for this install.

Got feedback on this. Harley doesn't do extended length brake lines. So, dealer I used to use in NC (one of the good ones), gets extended lines from Drag Spec catalog.

You can search bike specific but in case I can make your searches any easier...

Both are braided stainless.

For DWG mini apes on a 04-06 1200C, you need a 46" line, Drag part no 1741-0330
46" - 135 degree top angle, $73.95

For DWG mini apes on a 06 1200L, you need a 44" line, Drag part no 1741-0328
44" - 135 degree top angle, $71.95
