Hey everyone,
I'm having some issues installing drag bars on my '05 1200 custom Sportster. I was told that I can't get lower risers (these ones: https://www.jpcycles.com/product/214...ght-1-7-risers) because the speedo won't be able to fit underneath. If this is the case, is there any other way that I can mount the speedometer on? I'm going to attach a picture of my setup below as a reference!
You only real option is to replace the riser assembly and speedo housing with one off a standard (non C) Sporty model. There's been a number of threads posted over the past few years on how to do it and the parts required.
