If the wire really is too short, the quick-'n-dirty way is to splice in a section of similar-gauge wire. :)

I have Pro Taper Contour bars as well but I opted to use the Pro Taper bar clamps and I had no issues at all with the length of the front brake cable.

I assume this is about the wiring for the brake lights & such. If you follow that wire from the lever all the way down, there should be places where it is attached to the bike. Loosen it up & you might find some useful slack. Reattach in that position & good to go. This is just a theory that I would try as I have not had this issue personally. Good luck.

Remove the master cylinder from the handlebar and get your flashlight out.
You'll probably see a feature where pushing in on a small and hard-to-reach thingy with a narrow screwdriver or pick will release the switch from the master cylinder.
