Very nice solution. In the case of the 2016 RS which I have, the solution was not so simple when I installed my (SW Motech) crash bars as the fairings on that bike were entirely different. Only solution was to remove them.

Good point about the year -- mine is a 2023.

Thanks for the clarification.

I added a set of the Wunderlich sport crash bars to my '18 RS sport with the brushed metal lower engine fairing and those bars allow me to have both.
I keep trying to add a photo but it's not taking from my smart phone. I'll have to do it tomorrow when I'm on my big computer .
