Default Doing a bar conversion to straight bars

After reading about the coversion somewhere on here, i decided to attempt it. The problem i am having is the brake hose is to short for any amount of lift. Have any of you done this, and what is the cure for the hose.
Thank you

Anyone who can make you a custom brake line can make it just a few inches longer. I like Core Moto and they are who I used on my street fighter conversion.

I would like to have it DOT rated. Thinking about changing to dual lines as well.

Galfer offers DOT approved lines, but you'd have to call them to figure out any kinda custom setup.

I have completed the conversion. I love the straight bars, and my lowered pegs. Enough that i am going to keep the bike, and sell my old XS1100 Midnight.

Sorry, forgot how much we like pics. I also needed to put adjustable foot pegs on it.
