Does anyone else hate the risers on the customs?

05 1200c
The stupid looking riser is the only thing I don't like about my 05 custom. I was at the dealer last weekend and looked at a 07 low sitting next to a custom like mine. The low's short riser with spedo forward and pull back bars looked much better to me. Looks like a fairly easy mod, anybody done this?
I also like these, http://www.jpcycles.com/product/500-236, but don't know how to deal with the wires and spedo mount. Would love to see more of custom riser options. Thanks, JF

I have an 04 Custom and wanted to do the tank lift. The stock risers wouldn't allow it so I ditched the riser/speed0 combo, went to a T-Bar, and just bought an aftermarket long narrow speedo to attached to the T-Bar. Really like the look of T-Bars on the custom with a tank lift. It gives it more of a chopper look.

I posted a few pics of the bars/tank lift here: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/sport...m-rebirth.html
Just got the speedo yesterday and haven't put it on the bike yet but here is the one I got: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Digita...item519e158687
I'll have to make my own mounting bracket.

Was at a Harley dealer a couple nights ago, and thinking those risers on a 1200C just didn't look all that good.
