Default Drag bar riser

Hello, I'am wanting to put a set of drag bars on my 04 1200 custom, I realy need the reach to be comfortable, as you know the 04 custom has the pull back riser with the speedo and engine lights and oil ect.. I would be comfortable with just drag bars if the riser was straight instead of pullback because of mylong reach,. Is there a way I could change out the pullback risers and put another straighttype andspeedo that will plug in on this bike? I see many after market drag bars and drag bars with built in risers on e-bay, that would look cool and work ,but then what do i do about the speedo I maynotneed to know how fast I'am going,but I may need the Idiot lights......

If you are able to find something I would be interested in your stock pullback riser for my non-custom XL.

Everything you need to know is here. I found my 6" riser ok, not super comfortable but acceptable. I still have to pull myself a bit forward while I am riding. If you go 6" up and 2" pullback, the riding position will be much better but it doesn't like good.
