Yall have been a huge help! Thanks a bunch.
The bars are some no name cheepies from J&P. I dont wanna spend much untill I'm sure that's what fits me and my bike. I want to be able to spend some good riding time with them and not just sitting on a bike in a showroom or holding onto a coat hangar bent to the dimentions off a website.
I know I wont want to go taller than these, if anything a inch or two shorter, so if I decide my 'real' bars will be a tad shorter I'll have some room to play. Who knows, I might end up liking the cheepos and keeping them.
Thanks for the heads up story808, I didnt even think about the riser bolts.

Welp, the risers and bars came in today. The risers arent threaded like my stock NT ones are, so the bolts are about 5/8" too short. I had some longer ones laying around that I had to put in upside down with a nut underneth. Not to pretty looking, but atleast the bars are mounted and try to find my 'comfort spot'. It just didnt feel right but as luck would have it while I was in the garage tinkering somebody walking their dog past the house stoped to bs. Turned out he lives down the road a bit and had a set of 10.5" mini apes, he grabbed them and test fitted them. Much better! So we swaped bars.
Now the 10.5" minis are on, found how I think I'll like them, and in the morning I'll start measuring for cables and brake line then hit up the parts store to see what I can get. I'm extreamly excited to finaly be doing this, cant wait to get it all back together. I'm actually hoping this winter we get some nasty weather so I can take the front end apart for some powder coating.
Do yall have any pictures of how you routed everything? I'd like to keep things close in and clean looking, not too fond of seeing cables and crap floating out in space. The bars aint drilled but they are dimpled....so I'm thinking of drilling them to hide the wireing.
