I would speak to that nice man Steptoe. He can supply and fit the hoses and won't rip you off like BMW dealers. Of course, he has other problems but we don't talk about them in polite company

Cheaper yet, reroute the current hose to the inside of the fork. No need to bleed, or buy a new hose, just unscrew the right fork leg at the top, slide it down (don't drop it!), and pass the hose through. Worked for me, total cost £0, time 5 minutes, tops.

Be careful - when the bars are turned, this causes the brake hose to flex in the same place continuesly, right at the join with the connector - i've seen quite a few of these hoses split at that join-

No need, I'm back to the outside configuration, thanks to the Ricky Bars!

I circumvened the problem above by tightening the line under the tank. There were probably still some flex at full right turn, but I never saw any undue stress at the connector, at least not more than the original configuration. Nevertheless, it's good advice, if you have any concerns do buy a longer hose. Could be money well spent!
