Doug,
I'd be interested is seeing pics of your installation. I have Heli adaptors
with Bandit 1200 bars - a wonderful transformation for this aging, abused
body - but they cannot be adjusted so they clear the windshield supports
without having the switchgear contact the tank at full lock. Granted, it is
amusing to be able to honk the horn while performing a tight reverse turn
but not always desirable...

Rick, I forgot to mention that I had to re-position my fairing forward and
upward to allow clearance for the bars. It also required removing the bottom
part of the fairing since it would now be in contact with the exhaust. I had the
exhaust system ceramic coated so it looks great. It was a bit of work, making
adapters for the fairing mounting brackets to facilitate re-positioning the
fairing but I'm very satisfied with the results. If you want I will e-mail you
pictures.
Doug
