Fork protectors

Has anyone fitted fork protectors to a 1996 Daytona.
They appear like they wont clear bodywork etc once fitted.
Do they require trimming down in height?

I took off 1/2" and it doesn't rub. The are also canted in a bit (a little cross eyed or toe-in if you prefer). They appear to rub on the turn signal boot mostly from what I could tell.

It will depend on your sag in the front it looks to me.

Lots of things in life depend on your sag in front too.
