Question KW +2+ sweepers

Wanting to put new bars on my 13 Ultra, had the KW +2 sweepers on my 12 SG, worked nice, but I'd like to try the newer +2+ sweepers.
I haven't seen a touring bike with these on...anyone have a picture or two of the +2+ sweepers installed on a batwing touring..?
I appreciate any pictures...

Ahhhh believe they'd be about 2 inches higher than your previous +2's.
Other than that, the same.

That is what I am thinking of going with too. Sure would like to sit on a bike with them on first. To those who have them: are they above the fairing?

I had the +2 sweepers on my RK and really liked them but my neighbor put the 2+2 sweepers on his street glide and wishes he would have just bought the +2's. The 2+2's have his hands in the wind now and wind up the sleeves of his jacket,defeats the purpose of the fairing for hand protection.

Thanks! I've been thinking 2" back and about 1" up would be about right....????

I run the regular +2 sweepers on an 11 SG. Hands behind the fairing and like the position a lot.
Just a suggestion, if you want your hands behind the fairing, but want your arms positioned higher, getting your seat lowered or replacing the seat with a lower one and using the regular +2 sweepers would accomplish that.
