Here are a few in the gallery, not really the best angles. Clubmans are definitely lower than sm-2's.

They do if you mount them upside down... but they don't clear the triple trees unless you cut em in half and weld a piece in to make them wider.
Grind the pegs down with asphault!

actually if you raise the clamps (double them up) they do clear the triple tee

they do clear the triple. i dont have any pics from the side with the fairing on but while i was waiting for my new headlight to come in put the front fairing on so i could ride and it didnt even come close to hitting and even as far down as they sit they wouldnt have hit the fairing.

never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly... or 10 mph over the speed limit if you like your license.

Yours has risers... try to do it without.  I did, and it doesn't work.  The bend in the bars is too narrow.  Thus, if you don't want to install risers, you have to cut em and weld or resign to the fact that you'll have a set of bars installed that are cut in half.  And without risers... cables hit the fairing and the brake line is too long, just FYI

I have the green Gs500f in the member bikes.  there are pics with the fairings on I don't know how to put pics up so if some one would put them up that would be great.  The F model you HAVE to use a riser of atleast an inch. they will hit your plastics other wise. If you have an questions about it message me and I can answer them.

You don't HAVE to... I didn't.  You just have to get creative.  I rotated the throttle side switch housing so the start button was on the bottom and the brake lever was between the two throttle cables(freaks people out when they don't know youve done that and they can't find where to start it).  The switch for the turn signals was rotated with the horn button up a little.  The clutch cable had to be re-routed and the brake line was very close to kinked... That could have been resolved with shorter brake line but I'd rather lower the front and go w/ clip ons
