Any other side shots to show your bars and how much you have them pulled back to allow clearance for the batwing. I've been going back and forth on getting one and wasn't sure it would clear by mini apes. You can see in my sig pic how I have the bars now. I don't really want to pull them back much more for a batwing.

Thanks,
The headlight visor was a definite improvement. It got the headlight out from sitting behind/within the fairing. I dont have a better picture showing the angle of my bars. They are basically in line with the down tubes. The batwing does have a small room for adjustment where you can push it forward some. From the looks of your sig picture, I would think that you may have to pull the bars back some.

The batwing definately will not work with your bar angles man... Unless you do some cutting which is definately possible and might be pretty cool... I have the batwing and was looking into a set of west coast t bars which go straight up and its gonna be close... have to go higher than the fairing to fit my controls in... Think ur set up is awesome how it is but the fairing is NICE... Good Luck
