I got the Biltwell Frisco bars and they are higher. I just unbolted the hard brake line and temporarily relocated it. You might not have to do a thing! There are pics of Nightsters with the Keystone bars on the front page of their website!

i have the 10" rise mini apes from harley which are 32" wide. i had to reroute the throttle and idle outside the fortube but that was easy just remove headlight, and you will probably have to straighten out the brake like where its the hard metal piping. use a towel and flathead pliers being very gentle and careful doing a bit at a time.
