Default Riser and drag bar question?

Ok new here to this site and Im sure this topic has been discussed before. I have a 2006 1200 Low and looking to change out the stock buckhoen bars. I would like to use a 4" pull back riser and a pull back drag bar. My stock bars are 28" wide and would like to keep it the same. Any one have any pics of this done? Also my top clamp is attached to my speedometer and wondering if that would stick up to high. Im attempting to get a lower drag look with out to much change.

I like your pics of the Sportster. It looks like youi used a straight riser, I was thinking of using a 4" pull back riser with the same type pull back drag bars you have. I was also told if I do this I will have to use (one of the Yankee Enginuity gauge mounts to mount the gauges properly, or modify your stock mount). Not sure what that is yet, I will have to do some searching. That quote was from Drag Specialties.

I just put 32" drags on my stock riser and so far I love them.I was worried about leaning over to much,but it's barely noticible.I tried putting them on some risers from a custom first,but my wiring harness ended up about two inches short.
