Looks like the problem is the special albino faring.

Are those stock risers? Not stock bars. I'm thinking those bars are not for ElectraGlides.

Since the fairing appears to be aftermarket, I would investigate the company that made it and see if they make risers to account for this situation. I'm sure you aren't the first person that's had this issue with this fairing. And those are the stock HD risers for the Ultra Classic. Unless it's a highly modified stock one, that's also an aftermarket switch cap, assumedly made by the company that made the fairing.

Just my observations.

Albino! LMAO! But yep,the problem is a poorly made aftermarket part. Ken,you can't expect 'custom' parts to fit like factory parts. I'd be looking at modifying the albino, instead of searching for parts that probably don't exist.
