I need to lengthen the front brake and clutch lines so I can add the Rox 2" Pivot rider. How much longer do the lines need to be?

I added ROX 2" risers when I swapped out my bars to Flexx. Due to the more straightness (?) I did not have to swap out my lines.

I took a good look at mine when I ordered the ROX anti-vibration risers and was convinced I needed the extra length. So I ordered and am waiting to receive the extended lines from Jaxon at RideOnAdv.com
I talked with Jaxon and he seems to be a stand-up guy with answers that were helpful.
I'm sticking with the OEM bars for now.

The advertisement for the extended brake lines claim that no bleeding of the clutch or brakes is necessary.... I sort of find that hard to believe unless I'm missing something?

Edit -

Called Jaxon at Rideon - they don't require bleeding at the slave/ABS if you gravity bleed them. I've done this before on my LS1 slave cylinder. (although that was much more complicated). Seems straight forward. Ordered a set for myself.

Ride On Adv sells lines that are 2 1/2 inches longer than stock.
I had a local place make some 2 inches longer than stock and they worked fine for me with the 2" Rox pivoting risers.
(I payed about $40 for the two lines, made while I waited.)

Thank you jbrown.

When do you want to meet at Alice's? I haven't been there this year. Or The Junction. https://goo.gl/maps/tvZBa

I have installed the 2 inch Rox risers and kept the stock cables. All you have to do is remove the bracket that holds the cables to the neck on both sides.
