Memphis shades fairing

I have an 04 1500 Nomad and was considering adding a fairing. I have the factory tach as part of the handle bar hold down bracket, I also have 2" risers for the handle bars. Is there enough room for a Memphis Shades fairing with the tach on the handle bars?

MS fairing should fit. I have a 1600 with risers, no problem. Able to adjust fairing forward and backward as well as up and down. Have had for years.

Thanks for the feed back. Just trying to get the buffetting to go away. I had gone to a clearview recurve windshield and that helped some. Larger lowers helped some too, but I still have some buffetting hitting the top of my helmet. Thanks again
