I installed a twist throttle on my bike with some new handle bars but the brake line that is connected to the lever is a bit short, can I use the brake line off another bike to make it longer or how can i lengthen it, it is tight when the wheels are straight but I'm afraid when I turn them hard in one direction it'll tear off. I need it about 2-3" longer just to be safe, any advice would be great thanks

that's the thing the lever when i move it to a comfortable position on the handlebar is strecthing the stock brake line that connects to the lever and even then it still not at the location i want it to be at

You can buy longer brake lines... or un bolt the ones you have now to get more length out of them... There should be enough play in them anyways with just a handle bar swap... unless their like 4" risers...
