Good first post thanks for the detailed breakdown. Now you have seen how dealers RIP YOU OFF.
So how most guys would do it if they wanted to go 12" or 14":
Ebay a used 2006-2015 Street Bob clutch cable $60
Ebay a used bottom mount Dyna headlight bucket and mount. $80
Buy some 12/14 whatever T-Bars, again the Ebay knockoff or some fancy name brand. $200
Dot 4 fluid from Pep Boys or wherever. $5
Drain the trans fluid out into a clean container, then re-use it. Its a HD transmission, not a Bugatti Veyron power steering pump. $0
Trans cover gasket? Re-Use, they are always intact 99.9% of the time. $0
Riser bushings, if you must then yes buy some fancy ones. Not needed really if bike is new. $35
Front Brake lines: Buy individual fittings and lines from JP Cycles or wherever. You will need 3 90* elbows, a brake "T", and three lines. Buy the fittings, mount. Then measure the correct length for the lines, order three correct length braided or black coated lines after you have measured. $140
Black Tyraps $5
= $525.00
It takes all of maybe 3 hours to do the job.

Depends on how tall. I have 8" on mine, I've heard 10" work without extending as well. For the fairing, you'll need a bucket ($60) and a mounting block (~$10) and some misc nuts and bolts. The bucket and the handlebar wires are plug and play. Unless of course you need to extend them...
Took me bout 2 hours to install the bars.

brother I don't mean to be a dick but I would strongly recommend you paying someone to do it for you. Not only it's got TBW you will also have to bleed your ABS system which as I understand only Harley dealers and big shops has that computer available. For me it's a safety concern. I paid $400 for bar installation and $220 for my local dealer to handle the brakes for me. It's just piece of mind mate. Cheers!
