Question Custom riser conv. using Capttawes method

Hey guys, looking to see if anyone has recently done a riser conversion on a sportster custom using the method outlined by member capttawes. I have spoken to some members who have, but it was a few years ago and I am just wondering if any part numbers have changed from the dealer since this was first done. Here is the parts list I a man planning to use, my only difference being I am using a different brand single gauge mount (looks to be identical and something I can get here in Canada)

Bikers Choice Single Gauge Mount Kit Chrome - 169387
67104-95 Speedo/Tach cushion $7
68513-95 Bezel, warning lamp $ 2
68516-95 Housing warning lamp $ 9.20
68551-95 Warning Jewel $14.96

I am going to be doing this on an 05' custom in an attempt to switch to some apes (short enough to continue to use my stock cables for now) and just want to make sure the parts are still current from HD

​​​​​​​any help is appreciated!
