I got all the bad lines off. The one from the combo valve to the splitter
isn't to bad. The one from the splitter to the driver caliper has few bends
and the one from the splitter to the passenger caliper has about 15 bends in
it...
Of course there will be much less bends if I did it myself.
If my memory serves me right, the universal straight lines don't have that
protective spiral wire around it, right?

You can try to ask the dealer but chances are he will
either:
A) Tell you he has to order it (laughing all the way to the bank)
B) Tell you he can only get it if its in his service bay (where he has his
tech bend the line for you, again laughing even harder all the way to the
bank)
C) Be honest and tell you he can only get straight line.
D) Both A and B above.
If its hard line, its easy to bend it yourself. If its a rubber hose
assembly, any auto parts store should have it or can get it for you. Do the
job yourself and save some major $$$.

Some risk is necessary in life. Without risk, the new world wouldn't have
been discovered, man wouldn't have landed on the moon and we wouldn't ride
motorcycles.
