8 inch hangers help!

Gday guys and gals,
Just installed 8 inch hanging apes on my street 500.

Everything I read up on ( including bar craft website, before purchase sizing options ) it says this can be done with stock cables. I desperately do not want to have to get longer cables…


My questions are:

Do I need to remove the tank to re route ?

How do you achieve extra length on the hydraulic brake line, or enough length for full motion of handlebars ?

I like doing everything myself so any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated

cheers !

Is all you need is longer brake line and what length?
