Chris got back to me from Cycle Cat, said they are looking at a 2001 right now and have been told by some dealers they bend the fairing support. He agreed that there is little adjustment due to the fairing.

He has offered to sell shorter bars and refund the long ones ( ).

I aksed if there was a technical reason that I could not just shorten these myself, having the equipment to do so and re-drill the locating holes.
