R1150R Brake line fitting size?

I plan to install barbacks on my 04 rockster. The controls wiring looks like it is long enough to move back with the bars, but the front brake line is not. I have the iABS model which has a short braided line from the right brake lever down to the frame beneath the tank. I will have my local brake guy make up a new line. Does anyone know the size of the right-angle banjo bolt fitting on each end (photo attached)? I can remove the old line to work it out but I was hoping to have the new parts made up before I pull everything apart (I hate messing with brake fluid). Thanks!

I'm not sure which barbacks you intend to use. My R1150R has barbacks/risers installed - an inch higher and 1/2 inch or so rearward. No changes to the lines from the brake or clutch master were required.

Mine is a non-ABS model and that might make a difference though.
 
You can call Spieglers and they will make the line however longer you need. Just had to tell them what model I had, if ABS , which line and how much to add to the stock length, what color, no problem.
