Sorry, can't help you...I got the same bug.
Just started tearing down a perfectly good bike and remaking it.
Read the back of my shirt.

I got new chrome switches and switch housings from my wife for Christmas, and thought " might as well do the grips while I'm at it". But I hate the riser/ bars on the custom so..... Might as well do the bars. While I've got the tank off, might as well do a tank lift and coil relo. I can't stop now........

Please document the riser swap. XL1200C here too, and I think of doing that swap often.

Making some progress
Came back in to put up a pic of the bike like I bought it so this thread has some continuity
Thought I would post some progress pics so far. Really pleased with the way it's turning out
Tear down complete
Bar mock up
Soldering in the wire extensions
New grips, levers, and switch housings
Custom coil relocation mock up
