Default Beach bars

Does anyone know if you can put beach bars on a 1200 custom without moving the speedometer?

I can't think of any reason to "need" to move the speedo with almost any bars, especially something like wide beach bars.

Should work no prob. Actually, the only sportster I'd put beach bars on would be the big tank sportsters, there was a guy who had them on a nightster at some stage. The HD Narrow beach bars will do.
