Default apes for late model Custom

Want to go with about 12' apes on short risers.

The riser, speedo and speedo mount on my '11 1200 Custom seem very different from most other Sportys. Obviously the pullback riser, but also the speedo mounts on the near side of the bars and button is on the right side. The cup is NOT reversible.



I think a pair of these:

on the bars and a pair of flat brackets can mount the OEM speedo bucket



Problem is the backside of the bucket is pretty ugly and it will show. I guess I could make a flat plate to hide it?




Any better ideas???
