I got part numbers for pretty much everything.

Bars came from here: http://www.discountcycleparts.com/xc...t_number=31017 were like $29 when I got them almost a couple yrs. ago and now $50. The 3" straight round top risers were from www.jpcycles.com and were around $60, dont have that part # handy.
Speedo mount is just the older style XL/Dyna single guage mount that I elongated the holes in and bolted to the top tree, I also ord. it from Discount Cyle #39-0212 and it was $19 then but is $24 now. To use the older stlye mount depending on what indicator light set up you have now you may need these HD parts as well to convert it:
67104-95 $5.62
68513-95 $1.64
68516-95 $7.03
68551-95 $3.25

Those are the actual HD part #s and I just ord. them from www.zanottimotor.com

Here's a good shot showing the speedo mount and risers:




Keep in mind that bar swaps when cables are needed are not cheap especially when you change risers and speedo mount. I have about $350 in my setup with braided cables and with slight price increase today all the same parts are probably $425.

I'm probably going to change to Burly 14" narrow glide apes this winter.
