2019+ SV650X - Questions on Stainless brake line install & different Clip-ons

Hey, all! I have a [2019 X that I picked up a couple of years ago](https://www.reddit.com/r/SVRiders/comments/mw1kqh/my_new_2019_sv650x_got_delivered/), and I love it to pieces. I've not had nearly enough time to ride as I'd hoped by now, but I have a couple thousand miles on it, and go out when I can. I picked up a Leo Vince exhaust for it, which is great, and just recently got the Holeshot Corbin seat.

A while back, I bought the SV-specific Woodcraft clip-on set for it, and proceeded to try to install them. Unfortunately, the brake line seems to be about 1" too short - so I ended up putting the stock ones back on, and shoved the new ones in a drawer in my garage. Been very busy with work for over a year, and haven't had time to even think about it.

I've been looking into options, and as most others discover, Galfer and Spiegler lines are the top choices. Both have kits for the bike, but they are specific to the standard SV. My primary question would be - do you think the length on those might have too much slack, for a new clip-on that brings the reach back a few inches, vs. whatever the height of the standard SV bars are?

I've never done a brake line install. I am a competent at-home wrencher, despite how much I swear at myself for dropping another bolt. I've been working on cars for over 20 years, with basic to intermediate maintenance. I also have a 1994 Yamaha with carbs that I tore apart a couple years ago, cleaned and got back together. Now.... the fact that it hasn't run right since, is another matter. Heh! (Again, a time constraint.)

Custom lines are an option, but I wanted to see if a little extra length on stainless lines is doable, or do they have to be pretty spot-on? It'd be a lot easier to just buy the off-the-shelf kit, I suppose.

The new seat is beautiful, but pushes my butt further back and makes the reach to those bars pretty rough. I took the bike out last week for about 50 miles to get acclimated, and it sure does feel better than OEM, but the extra lean forward ain't fun for a guy in his mid 40s!

Thanks, all. :)
