barbacks with Aeroflow on R1150R

Anybody out there have experience mounting barbacks on top of the mounting bracket of an Aeroflow Touring Half Fairing. I'd like one thet is not extreme and am worried about interference with the upper mounting struts.
Would also like to use my GS hand guards, but they interfere with the air wings of the fairing. I think that, if I can get bar backs that work, it should resolve the interference problem.
All thoughts appreciated!
 
Bar backs

I bought Aeroflow touring Shield. Great product. Get the smoke lower. Looks cool. When I bought they asked if I had barbacks. The lady I talked to said if I had them they had a mount to compensate for the barbacks.Just to make sure though, give them a call. I'm pretty sure they can accomodate you.

felch,

welcome to the forums.

keep in mind that on these bikes the height, weight, torso-to-leg length ratio, and arm length of the rider have a big impact on ergonomics, bike comfort, and where the wind blast hits us.

before you take anyone's advice, you might want to make sure you know what size they are and what problems they were trying to solve with the modifications. in that vein, what are you trying to fix on your bike?
