Longer brake lines?

Hi there all. I have recently got a set of RC51 calipers/master clyinder on ebay. I ordered a set of SS lines from Dennis Kirk and they were too short to reach the mount on the bar... I have a homemade superbike bar kit... Anyone know if I can order lines anywhere that will let me add a couple inches to the stock length? Or how about a stock length for a VFR kit that would give me an inch or two on the Hawk? Oh I could use some help on this. The weather has finally broke in ABQ and my Superhawk sits stoppless in the garage.

We can get custom lines here in Australia, so you should be able to get some where you are. I have Spiegler (with the adjustable banjo, which is handy), and they made them to the length I wanted.

look for a galfer dealer and tell them you need some by length and end style... this place looks like one but i didnt look into it too much.

+1 for the galfers from cyclebrakes.
Measure what you need from the center of the fitting hole from each end.
