Talking Front Brake line question

Need some help and advice guys. I'm getting ready to install my clip on a as a winter project. Just wondering is any of you guys with clip ons used aftermarket brake lines. If so what length, where did you get it and how much? Thanks in advance.

Safe riding

Look here : https://www.magnumshielding.com/inde...982&color_id=4

but the shortest they have are stock -2". I presume stock for Iron is 4-1/2 bars+ 1-1/2" (?) riser
(http://www.sideroadcycles.com/Americ...tock_Bars.html)
So I would guess you need -6 for clip-ons Need more experienced people to chime in

Have any spare gas line or vacuum line laying around? You could mock up a length of line and order it custom, or at least get an idea what lengths (and banjos!) will properly fit.
