Default Shortshot with forward controls

Hey guys. Just got my sportster and it came with V&amp\\;H Shortshots on it. I was thinking though it would be nice to get some forward controls for it, but wasn't sure if they would clear the pipes ok. I found only a couple posts of people who said they did, but couldn't find any pictures of a sportster running the forward control relocation kit that wasn't a custom with the forward controls stock. Can anyone chime in one way or another? Thanks!
