Default gangster apes and windshield

Does anyone have any pictures of a deluxe with gangster apes and a windshield? Just curious if this will work or if the windshield will hit the controls.

Gangsters are pretty wide it shouldn't be a problem at the controls just make sure they're rolled back enough so the shield doesn't hit the bars.
I use a shield on my fatboy for long highway rides I just have to roll the bars back a little.

Someone posted a picture where he trimmed a windshield to clear the bar tilted forward. Came out looking good.
A http://www.wind-vest.com/ would fit without trimming I'd bet.
I actually asked a vender selling them at the River Run in Laughlin about one to fit 1.5" diameter bars. They only made them up to 1.25" at the time.

That might of been me with that post. Check out one of my threads, I think it is one with all my touring crap on my bike.
