As long as your hands are not above your shoulders you will be ok in Florida. Well let me rephrase. The law states should level, but that doesn't mean you won't get hassled.

316.2095 Footrests, handholds, and handlebars.--

(1) Any motorcycle carrying a passenger, other than in a sidecar or enclosed cab, shall be equipped with footrests for such passenger.

(2) No person shall operate any motorcycle with handlebars or with handgrips that are higher than the top of the shoulders of the person operating the motorcycle while properly seated upon the motorcycle.

(3) A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a nonmoving violation as provided in chapter 318.

I'm still hoping they come out with chrome switches for the fairing switch cap. I told R&D guys about that last year and they seemed to think it was a good idea.
