You have more than enough slack in your wires to do what you want.

cool deal may even goe with 4 inches in that case i am asamed to say it but some dude flashed down the street on a dyna i think it was as fxdr thats the sporty lookin one with the quarter fairing right? anyway he had tall drag bars with the speedo and tach right at eye level just below the fairing

smart set up since i'm sure looking down at my speedo for that split second and taking my eyes off the road contributed t my accident
