Default Mini-Ape handlebars..what parts?

Im wondering what parts I'll need to install a set of mini-ape handlbars on my 07' Nightster..Risers? Top clamps? I tried the search option, and I couldn't find anything for this particular bike..could've missed it though. Any help would be great!

Here are some numbers for you... This is what I am using... All HD parts... The cables are expensive, but I liked the look so I swapped all three so they matched. Some guys are getting away with reusing the Clutch and Throttle cables, but the brake cable is too tight without bending the line just out of the master... The 1200N has wiring that is long enough so you don't need to redo that...

Diamondback Throttle Cable 38906-07
Dianondback Clutch Cable 38879-07
Diamondback Brake Line 38909-07
Mini Apes 56075-07

If you want black or less expense cables and lines you can take these numbers to Harley and find out how long they are, and just order other ones..

That should be all you need if you want to use the HD mini apes.....

Thanks! Thats just what I was lookin' for. And the top clamp from the factory you can reuse as well? Would you by chance have a pic of the Ape's installed?

Nice avatar btw, is that yours too?

they will bolt right up with no problems at all,just readjust your stockthrottle cables and clutch cable and it will fit fine.....we did the same on my brothers bike, he has a nightster too....then i added minis on my custom and used the stock cables too, just changed out my riser.....

Yup.... I got away with using my stock cables and brake line. The install wasn't bad at all.
