Default Flared windshield with bags

I have a 2009 street glide with HD 2 pocket windshield bags (p/n 58928-08) and I am wondering if I will be able to fit a 6 1/2" flared shield on the bike with the bags as well. A couple guy say yes, and then a couple say no. If you have this set up could you show a picture?

I have a clear 8" LRS with flip, running with T-bags and love it. But I think shorter shield with flip would pull away from the top of the bags and leave you a gap. With my clear shield you see the 4” of black from the bags and hardly notice the shield when looking at the bike. But when ridding you get some pretty good wind protection. I think it’s just perfect.
