Longer rear brake line?

I am working on swapping my 1976 KZ900 to a rear disc brake.

Everything is done. Master cylinder bracket done, master cylinder and linkage done, swing arm, wheel, caliper, it's all done. I went to put the brake line on and the stupid thing is 3-4 inches too short. :ohmy:

Kind of a shot in the dark here but does anyone know of a bike that has a brake line that is somewhere between 24 and 26 inches long? Or at least really close to that?

I guess I have rolls of braided stainless line but I don't have the ends for use of a banjo bolt

Z1 Enterprises carries many different brake hoses, various shaped banjo, etc.

Could give 'em a call.

Good Fortune! :)

Local race shop may be able to locate the ends you need and build you a line using your braided line.
