If you're saying you don't like the pullback risers I'm assuming you have an 04 & later model. If so, I don't think they'll fit because the top clamps are different. I have both kinds in a box in my shop. I'll check them out tomorrow if you don't have an answer by then.
Yeah, the bolt pattern is different. The top clamp for the risers you linked to will work though if you get the speedo clamp too. Your indicator lights will pop right in there and so will the speedo.
Even if you find risers that'll work with your top clamp, the style you're looking for will position the speedo basically flat making it difficult to see.
Don't do risers w/ apes, period. Just go and buy the regular sportster upper and lower handlebar mounts at HD. They are like $45 for both NEW. IDK why HD did the set-up like that on the Customs. It just looks stupid.

Of course this is an opinion...so take it for what it's worth lol.
If you're wanting to go with straight risers and not mess with wiring & relocating the speedo & all that crap then the last link with the top clamp will work fine if it comes with the speedo brkt.
My wife has those risers on her 03 and likes them just fine.
Although, if you do go with shorty risers & all that then it'll be fairly easy for you as your harness plugs are below the tank instead of above the top tree that those risers were designed to hide.
