Here you go Will, there's about an 1/8~1/4 inch between the fairing and the shaft. The fairing flexes enough right there that I think you'd have no problem getting 1/2" of clearance in there.

What do you think Conrad?  Wondering if the GSG will hit the plastic of the baker now.  I thought I only needed the clearance on the inside.

I don't know Will, it's hard to tell from that pic.

You may want to compare to a bike (in person) that has them.  I have them as well.  Could be someone up your way, though.

yeah, Momma said I'm confusing Santa, no more wish list changes...I'll have to wait and see now once they arrive.  I'm thinking it'll fit.  My "wish list" also included front GSG sliders, final drive slider, a Givi leg bag, some ROK straps, and some helmet reflective stickers. Oh and some Murph's oil filler caps for engine and final drive, and some Tech Spec tank protectors...gonna be a farklelicious Christmas.

My left pants leg cuff gets caught on my GSG sliders. I'm 6'2'' w/34 inseam.
First time I it happened I almost drop the bike as I came to a stop at a stop sign.
Cuff was caught and could not get my left foot down.
Only seems to get caught on my left side. Right side never does.
I just try and remember this and move my leg out away from foot peg to put my left foot down.
Have also bumped my shine a couple times but no  damage to my leg or slider, from that  ;D

I wear 14" high combat tour boots covered on outside by motoport pants with pads from knee all the way down to an inch above my feet. I Velcro my pants tight around my boots with 8" x3" Velcro strap as part of pant. No way I'm getting hinged on the gsg or fear of banging my shins.  When I wear leather they are neatly tucked into my combat tour boots also. Tons of leather between me and gsg.

Now hurry up Christmas so I can even see if they fit.

Well, that answers that...GSG frame sliders fit with Lower Airbakers installed.  Santa let me have one of my gifts early :-).  It's not mounted yet, so just holding in the mount location.
