Yaffe bars and windshields
I'm getting ready to put my either 10" or 12" Yaffe bars on my 17 RGS. The two windshields I use are 14" KW sport flare and a 9" sport flare. Will I have problems with either of these bars contacting the WS at full lock or at all?
What touring WS's and size are users with apes using to avoid this?
Thanks!

14" Windvest and 14" Wild1 WO572s which are actually 14" tall at the grips unlike many pointy topped bars. No contact, not even close.
Wider, straighter, less pull back bars like the Yaffee's pose that problem. The 572s have like 12" of pull back so it's not even close to the windshield when turned full lock.

Seems the most likely problem is the way the KW shields come back towardsthe rider vs the more traditional shields. I do love my KW 14" sport flare but ride most with the 9" sport flare. I can see parting with the taller KW when I install the Yaffess for something more conventional though.
Also gonna check out the WO's LP.
