If I wasn't looking for the bend, I wouldn't have noticed. Looks good.

All of the stereo fairings, that I have seen, will not allow for your apes to be straight up and down.

That stereo pod needs to come forward, toward the rider, to make room for the guts of the stereo. The higher up in the fairing the stereo is, the more it has to protrude because the outer slopes toward the rider more as it moves to the top of the fairing.

That said, even fairings without stereos, and most windshields, will not allow for apes to be straight up and down as illustrated by bdouglas215 with the Memphis Shades.

But, 06 flstfise is right, Gangster Apes, from Carlini, will help, I just don't know it they will get you straight up and down.
