Default Handlebar risers

So the risers on my bike right now how a little bit of pullback to them. The bars have pullback as well, so I'm thinking about changing the risers to straight risers. Having a hard time finding them though, anyone know where to get chrome 8" straight risers? Also, on the straight risers, are the mounting holes tilted so the speedo will be at the same angle as with the pullback risers? Or will the speedo get turned towards the sky more?

The angle of the speedometer will change.

So would it maybe be better to change to straight bars rather than straight risers to get rid of some of the pullback?

That's an individual thing, depends on what you like. I put a set of straight risers on mine, switched back to pull back risers because I liked the speedometer more upright. Handlebars are like shoes/boots, have to find a set that fits you.
