If there is anyway to fit them with your fairing I would invest in some Engine Protector bars.If you slide these bikes even at slow speed it can totally ruin the engine because of the exposed pots and their position.
PS
They do work and not only saved the engine they also saved my leg :shock:

I've noticed on some modern bikes they have Fairing Bobbins/Crash protectors.

With your Fairings and these I think that would do the job but I would even hack the fairing if need be to fit proper protectors.

The hondaline engine guages fit just fine with the fairing. Here is a picture of mine with the winter lowers still on.

SB, they pop up on Ebay pretty regularly. I have never seen a set of winter lowers other than mine though. I remeber a company a while back that was supposed to have some, I don't quite remember the name though. Began with a "W" I believe. Good luck with the search.
