Default King apes with windhield?

Is anyone running a windshield with their apes? I attached a photo of a bike that does. Im looking to see how some of you set up your bike, so photos would be great. It looks like the owner of this bike notched the hell out of his windshield. I'm just looking for ideas thanks.

I dont have any pics. I put 10 inch LA choppers twin peaks on mine. No issues with the wind screen. Some of the apes are made for baggers with the batwing fairing. They have a bend in them, kinda like your pic.
Here are bunch of pics.

Not the best pic, but my 14" Khromewerkes fit just fine. The clutch cable touches, which I don't love, but I rarely use my windsheild.

14" chubbies. 6'7" so long arms mean bars are forward. Cut out original shield to fit but didn't like it. Ended up with National Cycle cafe fairing. Keeps the wind off the chest. Bad pic.

16" wild ones. These are fairly comfortable, but at 6'2 I am considering switching to something with less pullback.
