You want to mount the custom riser on the low? Yes, it should be a pretty easy swap, you may need to also swap the speedo wire harness to depending on what Indicator lights are on the low, i have the complete custom riser/speedo mount with the harness if you're looking for one.

I don't think it's that easy. The SuperLow doesn't have removable risers. You would need to have the lower handlebar clamp milled off, then drill the upper tree. Or replace upper tree with part from 2011 & newer 1200C. An upper mid glide tree from Vulcan Engineering might work too.

I looked at the dealer Saturday. The SuperLow's lower clamp cannot be milled off. There's not enough material. It might be possible with a 48, they're beefier.
