Got another problem--hard brake lines 200

Thanks for the advice on bleeding but I've got another problem now.

I had to put on a hard brake line on the right front before I started today and used an aftermarket from O'Reilly (IPD called this week and said the genuine volvo lines are NLA from Volvo, bummer). After about an hour of bending it and finally getting it on I filled up the M/C and pumped the brakes and it leaks like a sieve from the caliper. Both lines. Not only that, I think the other oem hard brake line is stripped, it is leaking and won't tighten all the way.

I'm going to call the guys in Atlanta on Monday and see if they can set me up with a couple, but if that doesn't work does anyone know where I can source these brake lines? I don't mind an aftermarket if they fit but I'd really prefer them to be bent like they need to be when I get them, trying to do it with a tubing bender doesn't work so well, I can get there but it takes forever and I always seem to get them blocking the caliper bolt.
