I have handle bars with more pullback than stock and the brake line is barely long enough. I now want to add the Deuce risers and the line will be too short.
Can anyone suggest a place to get a longer line?

BTW... be sure to specify when you order that you have ABS, or not. The brake lines are different.

The cable aren't too short.
I put on Deuce risers and I didn't bother with new cables...that's a lot of work all the way back to the thottle bodies.
I carefully removed the throttle handle core with the cables still attached and rerouted the entire thing behind the trees.
That give you enough room for the full left lock. Else there is almost plenty of room, but full left will rev the engine.!!
It is possible to not disturbe the cables, but it's also easy to remove them. I just did the process
again when I installed the heated grips. You don't have to touch any of the throttle cable adjustments. What a pain.
You just need to work out how you loop the cable under the throttle core. Pay careful attention
as you take it apart.

I know there is plenty of cable, but the brake line is too short. It might be okay with the stock bars, but mine have significantly more pullback than stock.
I'd rather not buy the whole kit when I only need the brake line.

However, since the one line would (in the mind of Triumph ) be a warranty or insurance fix (as opposed to a accessory purchase by an owner) they'll change you 2x what the whole kit will cost for the singe brake line. That seems to be how their pricing runs.

RIght, sorry, I missed the part about new bars, also. I got enough with stock and Deuce. How much more pull back do
you think your'll get with the bars?
But, watch your paint. That's how I screwed up. Clutch side has a tab that will claw in.

The bars have about 2" more pullback than stock. I find myself riding with my hands halfway down the grip and I have long arms.  I like to lean back when cruising, though.

Maybe Eddy could have some made up to sell with the risers.
