Default '08 1200 Custom Stock Riser Removal

I'm looking to putting new bars on my and would like to get rid of Harley's stock risers that came with the bike.

Was wondering if anyone has done this and if they had some pictures for ideas.

Thanks in advance for the tips and tricks!

I don't have any pictures, but I removed he Customs riser on my 2005 and went with a speedometer relocation and got DK Customs indicator bracket that mounts to the top clamps. The wire harness was the most expensive part. You will also need whatever risers and top clamps you want. I don't have any real good pictures of it, but I can get some this evening.

Here are the part numbers that it took to swap it over.
(2) 2361 screw
(1) 67320-95 speedo rear cover
(2) 2325 screw
(1) 68513-95A bezel
(1) 68813-04A instrument harness
(1) 67121-95A front cushion
