Default Speedo Mount With Pullback Risers

Hi all. I have an 03 883 and my wife has an 04. When I bought my bike it already had pullback risers and the speedo was mounted with two extended bolts and riser sleeves going into the visor over the headlight (I hope that makes sense). I just added pullback risers to my wife's bike but can't find any sort of kit to mount the speedo. The speedo wont fit on the new handlebar braket and I need to mount it to something, peferably elevated so it can be seen. What is the best application to mount the speedo after adding pullback risers? Thanks.

What pullback riser is it? The 04-06 HD pullback has different mounting offset, it requires a 04-06 speedo mount.

When I had that set up on mine, I bought about 2 1/2 spacers and longer bolts. Removed the short bolts from the headlight brow and put on a washer, then the spacer and tightened the speedometer bracket down tight. It worked really well. If I find a picture, I'll post it.
