The sport shield is a bit restricting for reaching the ignition key, I have it in mind to fit extension
( chrome ) screen bolts that will give around 2" extra gap.. Any-one done this ?, or know where I can acquire them.
Thanks..

HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF MOVING THE IGNITION BARREL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE BIKE? @ DECOSSE CAN MAKE YOU A WIRING EXTENSION THAT PLUG FROM THE HARNESS TO THE BARREL WIRING
i DID THAT MOD VERY HAPPY WITH THE RESULT
 
I got some long bolts from a local store, and some thin PVC pipe. I cut the PVC pipe to the lengths required for spacers, and use the new bolts to put it all back together. Paint the PVC black and nobody will see it.

Of course you could also do the $40 keyless ignition as shown below and you will never have the problem again.
 
Not confident /competent on the wiring idea,so would prefer extensions, but thanks for the input, appreciated.
Will keep on searching..

Then just do the extension as above. It is easy, makes access to the key easy, and deflects the air a bit higher. I used stainless steel allen key bolts as they are easy to get, and I prefer the look of stainless steel.
 
Thought I'd show ya what I did ...
I managed to buy 4 x 2" s/s bolts, I then cut
2 x 2" chrome-copper tube
2 x 1,1/2" ""--""--""--""--
This allowed a 1/2" slope on the screen, and has given me ample room to insert the ign' key--(allowing for jacket-cuff.)
Total cost....£1.00p = $1.56 ------- top-banana, eh?.
