Has anyone put on lowers with a Clearview windscreen? I am guessing the Triumph lowers will not work given that the Clearview covers under the turn signals. Any other options?

I have the Madstad screen on my Storm and I use the Memphis Shade lowers. They are quite large and do a great job but they will sit in front of the turn signals and will be in front of your screen and not behind. Serves the same function but you may not like the look as lowers are usually behind the screen. They make a big difference on my bike. I've taken them off to see if I really need them or not and it's quite noticeable with wind when they aren't there. The look doesn't bother me but it's a non traditional look. I think they'd clear the shield but it might be close.

I have the Clearview screen with the holes for the turn signals, and I have the Triumph lowers on my 2010 1700 T'bird. The curvature of the screen underneath the turn signals is too severe to mount the Triumph lowers, or at least that is what I thought. The Clearview was a big improvement for me vs. the large Cee Bailey windshield I originally had on the bike, even without the lowers. I eventually woke up one day, looking at my lowers stored in a box in the basement. I grabbed my heat gun and gently heated and reformed the Clearview screen so that the under turnlight curvature was not as severe. I was then able to mount the lowers. The screen does cover a bit of the top of the lowers, but they fit. Buffeting was noticeably less once I put the lowers back on.
