It depends on the height of the bars you're using. 90cm is pretty much perfect for slightly lower than stock bars (Euro or Superbike bars).
BTW,a 30" SST braided (one-piece) line (Bikers Coice) worked well for me. The fittings add a couple of inches too.
HOLY SMOKES!!!! A LOT of stuff there. So mine is apparently not in compliance but it works pretty well and has for several years so NOT gonna change anything. Also those standards are for manufacturers to comply with and I'll bet a roadside pull-over by a cop would not include any such inspection even though the foot pedal is removed from the XS! But admittedly it would be tough to defend in a court case where bodily injury or death occurred..............Back in Entry 48 Fredintoon mentioned about legal requirements for two independent braking systems on a motorcycle. I found the following document which covers this aspect:
https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/49/571.122a
The section of interest is S5. There are some exceptions but not being from the USA this document does not mean at lot to me with regard to where it applies etc etc......
Perhaps this is something to be aware of ?????

Willis let me know what you got as I want to upgrade my 75 also same setup you are talking aboutIt’s ironic that this thread came up today. I am planning on ordering replacement lines (braided) for my ‘75 tomorrow through Apex Brakes. I’m sticking with the 2 piece setup and will be running the stock steel lines. Apex quotes are about $15 each plus shipping. I stopped at a local brake specialty shop Friday and they quoted $37 each. Gonna give them a shot. Will keep this thread updated when they arrive.
