Default Custome question

Hi Guys.New to the forum.
I'm new to riding for that matter. I have a question about handle bars. I want to turn my Iron into a bobber.
Is it possible to use my stock handle bar and just turn it down? Would everything still fit back in place? Brake,gas etc. In other words the u shape would be upside down for that low curve look.
Not sure if I'm explaining it correctly.
If anyone has any thoughts about it I would really appreciate it.

You would need to dimple the other side as to not pinch the wires coming out of the switch housings...
