    probably will hit the tank, try it without just be careful when you turn the bars, also mine happened to clear with short riser blocks but the choke would get hit and the bike would stall. My drag bars felt skinny though, maybe yours are wider or possibly straighter so they may fit, only way to find out is to try them on.

    Mine hit the tank. So I just deleted most of the handle bar electronics.

    yep, they will hit, even with the maxim risers I use, they hit the tank. But if you mount them angled towards you, then they may not. If you set them angled straight down, then they definetly will.

    I put "M-bars" on mine and they hit at full turn but not while riding.

    Has anyone tried the Euro or Daytona bars from MikesXS?
    Been looking at them hard lately,
    Should be high enough to clear,
