Default Handle bar question

I am wanting to change the stock bars on my 05 Superglide and herein is the problem . I want to keep the clock in its present lower position so it is not set too high -- but want to go to a straight bar like the set I made for a previous bike but need about a 5 to 6 inch lift from the present bar and the only solution I can think of is to use a short straight bar in place of the present bar and run dog bones up to the flat bars.
Are there any other solutions the forum can come up with

Your picture sucks.
What and how does the clock attach now?

The picture suck because it is an old pic oif a set of bars I made years ago. As noted I would like a similar set of bar for my superglide which has the stock bars and clock set up. I woudl like to retain the stock clock in its present position and still have the higher flat bars which is why I mentioned the possibility of using a short section of straight bar in the present bar clamps that hold the clock and run dog bones up to a new set of flat bars unless there is an alternative that forum members can envisage.

Simple solution is - get taller risers, leave the speedo where it is.

Taller risers, look at Biltwell or Lowbrow Customs.

If the clock is attached to the underside of the bars, create a new mount to the top of the upper tree.

Good luck.
