Default Bags and Bars

Ok so I want to buy both a set of throw overs and some apes. I was at my local shop earlier and we couldn't find a support bracket for my bike (2011 883 iron) so my first question is does anyone know where i can get a support bracket. I know someone will say "don't bother" but since the bags will be permanent fixtures I figure why not.

The other question I have is I was thinking of buying a set of burly brand apes and a burly brand cable kit. If i did that would I need anything else for that install but a service manual?

This bike is my primary transportation now because I love the damn thing (much to the dismay of my wife) so I need it to fit me with the bags and such.

Thanks for any input.

As far as the bars and kit go, a service manual would be best, nothing else but time and patience
