    Will Euro bars clear the vetter fairing?

    I'm getting my new GS850G up to speed. One of the first things after pulling the carbs and draining the tank was removing the stock bars for a set of low rise Euro style that I have. Problem is the bars don't clear the fairing, specifically the brake and clutch levers. I want to keet the Vetter w/lowers on, so here's my question:
    Will a set of Bikemaster Euro bars clear the vetter fairing (they look like thay have more rise than the bar I have)? Any suggestions for lower bars with a high enough rise to work?
    Thanks

    I went through this. I tried Bikemaster bars with about a 2 inch rise and they fit O.K. However with a Vetter fairing I found them not very comfortable (no wind resistance pressing against you) and frankly a little out of place.

    Few people like the stock bars. I ended up with this and I think they are perfect. A little spendy but very comfortable.
