I believe you'll need a different hood with that bar. Washers will only work if the bar is touching the intake, but low enough for the hood to close.

Not sure. I know the Kaenen Cowl I have will clear the Steeda STB designed to clear the Whipple.. Sense it's an OEM bar, your best bet is to give trufiber a call and see if they've test fitted their hood on a KR before.
