Default RISER SWAP?

[sm=helpout.gif]Has anyone changed the riser on their sportster?? I have an 05 1200 and was thinking of going with a different riser. Probably going to do mini-apes. Does anyone know if it is possible to use the stright riser that was on the pre-04(?) b/c I think that one should fit..right? Anyways this will be my first bar swap, so any help/info or advice will be appreciated. Would love to see some pics of other swaps as well. Thanks in-advance![sm=partyparty.gif]
