No issues at all and plenty of room turning the bars.
Of course, I have the 2" HeliBar risers and Phil's wedges on my bike also, but..... even stock without the risers and wedges, there wasn't any problems.
I mounted the speakers as close as I could up front of the two black side panels as I could, without it rubbibg anything, and by just drilling screw holes in the black side panel plastics and mounting the speakers with the supplied screws and some Loctite.
The black top side panels aren't that curved and are fairly level where I mounted the speakers. The 2010 bikes aren't much different and could be done the same way.
That is the 100w amp. system with the 100 x 2 speakers. I could of went with the 250w amp. but didn't want to take a chance of the amp. not fitting inside the Kawasaki tank glovebox. It is more than plenty loud enough, and I normally rode with it at 1/4 volume, and never had it more than half volume. It nver broke-up and distorted on me. I've riden sometimes at 75mph on the highway, and I could hear it fine with my full coverage helmet.
I did modify my glovebox to let more air in to cool the amp., I cut down the inside, and added 4 vent in the front, and four vents on the two sides to let air in and out. I covered the hole vents with window screen on the insie of the box, and painted all black. It came out nice, and looks factory.
You can do a search and see all the photos and discribe what I did to it. It works fine and stays cool, and I never had a problem with water getting in, even spraying it at the local car wash with the spray wand, so riding in the rain, you wouldn't ever have a problem with water. I never rode in rain, but I've tested it at the car wash, and it stayed dry.
