what do you mean by brake wire?? if you mean the brake light wire, just cut it and soider in a jumper wire thats longer, if you mean the brake line, you gotta get a longer one, if you mean the parking brake cable, you could get a longer one or just get rid of it like i did.
I think all of the 570 sleds had mechanical brakes which means brake cable. Not sure what guys where doing to lengthen them though.......anybody?

I MEAN THE BRAKE CABLE ITS MACANICLE.Truckkid42 said:
try getting ahold of flanders cables. they used to specialize in odd ball cable configurations and may be able to make what you need or sell you stuff to make your own. you will need to know the size of the barrels on each end, the cable and housing diameters, as well as an approximate length.
you could also compare to the vmaxs 94-96 which had a cable length around 35". dont know if the barrels were the same.

thank you
on my highly rized phazer (9") i took a quadracer 92 clutch cable and its doing the job right, you could even rize them 3 feet high... for the over lenght i passed it thru my motocross style handlebar velcro pad to the brake lever 
your exciter is the same type brake system
