What exactly is your question?
If you are asking about your OEM controls the answer is yes.
They come dimpled and drilled which means they are ready for the controls and grips.

LA Choppers Z bars are 1.25 inches thick. They won't clear with your fork tube cups. You either have to lower your fork tubes or get riser extension...
