Yep those are for the early controls like yours but at this point I'd advise updating to the latter stuff. The switch's are very small especially the little push buttons and brake light switch and very easy to break putting them in and those are a china special , you won't be happy very long.

I just adde late 90's police bike controls to a shovel FXR
They had the wires and everything
You would need the wiring diagram for those controls and the wiring diagram of your bike, and figure out how they go together... some wire colors are the same, some are not
A problem with the controls I have is the clutch lever, which uses a different type of cable, you would be able tu use an older lever and the correct clutch cable for your bike... it would look a little different from you brake lever though
As others said, you need the correct master cylinder for your brake setup
