Default Short/straight riser on deluxe?

Just wondering if anyone has changed the riser on a deluxe for a shorter straight riser with the stock bars? Is there tank clearance issues?

Ive used the Harley 1" straight risers.....part #46809-09, but I changed bars at the same time.
I doubt there would be any clearance issues with the stock bars.

I used the risers and bars off a slim. No clearance issues.
