I'd imagine you might have to notch out the windshield for the bars.

I've got 16" Flying Apes and use a full size H/D windshield for extended highway runs.
The only drawback with the windshield is the bars cannot be pushed way forward.

You can notch the windshield around the bars.....there is a thread on here somewhere that shows it being done step by step. There was also another guy the made extension brackets for the windshield to move t forward a little.
