Welcome new member. Lots of variables there. If you have 1 1/4 bars you will need risers for 1 1/4 bars, unless the bars reduce to 1 inch which is rather common. Same thing for your switch boxes, do the bars he gave you narrow to 1" in the area that the switch boxes mount, if not, I'm not sure what you do about that. Another big consideration is the year of your bike. Up to '06 you have enough slack in clutch and throttle cable to accomadate apes, after that you most likly are going to need custom lenth cables. I did 12" mini apes on an '05 and ended up needing a slightly long brake line. So you got some things to think about.
FWIW, in our world, cap locks indicate you are yelling, not necessary, most of us can hear you.

I think you'll be ok as long as you do not use taller risers. You may have to do some rerouting of cables, behind the triple tree instead of infront. Your brake line will be tight. You can get fittings for the reservoir and the caliper and just get a longer line that goes between the fittings. My dealer ordered mine from Goodridge, try PhatPerformance Parts.
