      These or some of the other offerings similar will be your best bet. http://www.xs11.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38453

          Stainless is the way to go. "Russel" also makes good SS lines and provide an assortment of lengths and various banjo 's. On my SF and LH, I used 19 inch lines with a straight banjo at the "y" and a 30 degree banjo at the front brake.My bars are stock.

              I will vouch for Russell. Had them on for years with no issues. Just take a few measurements and all the hose lengths and parts are available online. Also, you will just love the hard lever feel SS lines give.

              Once you un-can a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is with a bigger can.

                  Another vote for stainless steel.
