Default Replacement handle bars and hydraulic clutch

I, like a lot of people, am considering changing the handle bars on my 2011 RKC to improve the reach. Looking at the options on the Harley Davidson web site, all of the options state that they are not compatible with a hydraulic clutch kits. I am considering also upgrading to the hydraulic clutch using CVO parts. What is it about the replacement handle bars that will not accept the master cylinder on the handle bars?

I have to ask...Is the Hydro clutch that important to you? I would get the bars that fit me the best and work from there. I don't understand the need (or want) for a hydro clutch to begin with though. The cables work pretty good and the pull is pretty light on the newer bikes...
