I probably wouldn't if it was my only bike, but I am lucky enough to have four, so I get to indulge in at least one "classic" from my youth....

Fully agree. Put the gauges where they belong. On the bars!

Yes, that makes sense. I have the two; a Bagger and a cruiser, so I have the best of both world's...and bot paid for...

Exploring options on handlebars, are there any aftermarket risers that keep the stock headlamp visor? With the goofy but functional setup these years have, I'm doubting it but thought I would ask the hive mind

I looked for awhile and was unable to find any aftermarket risers that would allow the use of the OEM visor.... Seems most aftermarket risers for the Low Rider are the "club style" risers. I have no interest in those.

I decided I will have to change only the bars, or keep the OEM set-up...
