Talking handlebars and switch upgrades?

Im about to order WO610 for my 98 Roadglide...
I have a 2011 brake master cylinder and lever...
Im going to upgrade to the 18" 2012 wheel and brembos...

my question is do I upgrade the clutch side to same years?
will it hook up properly?

will i need longer brake cables and clutch?

for being a 98 what years would be same switch housing and switches...mine are faded bad and someone put the chrome covers which is not my taste...

I just did the Brembo upgrade on my 2001 EGC. You need to get the newer master cylinder, brake lines, because your changing to a different grade of brake fluid. I also got the matching clutch handle and bracket, but for some strange reason, I couldn't get it to work properly. The clutch handle would not seat all the way when the clutch was not engaged. So I'm running the stock clutch perch and handle.
