Last year I installed a wider handlebar as well (Baron Starbar - 36" wide), and the hoses are barely long enough.
Now I'm waiting for a set of 4" pullback risers, and I'm concerned that the hoses might end up being just a bit too short.
If the following OEM hose measurements are correct, I could simply order a new set of 200 cm and 150 cm hoses.
OEM clutch hose - 72.5 inc. (185 cm)
OEM front brake hose - 53.25 in. (135 cm)

I know I'm replying to an old post of yours. I was just wondering if you ever found an answer.
I just ordered a set of pullback risers, and I'm afraid I'll have to replace both tubes with longer ones.
Thank you
Hello Fab:
I don't recall ever finding out. At this point, I'm not sure why I was asking. My guess was that I was contemplating putting on wider bars and was thinking I'd need longer hoses. I did install wider bars (39" - I think, Beach Bars) but didn't have to change hoses.

Can anyone confirm the lengths listed are for stock hoses and where the measurements are taken, i.e. overall length or. centre of banjo bolt to centre of banjo bolt.
