Default Moving Speedo and Tach, FXDX or FXD

Want to put on new bars with risers, drag bars with 5.5" risers. Not sure how much play in the speedo and tach wiring. Anyone who has done this, what were your results. Do both guages need to be rewired. While my tins are off being painted I would like to get it done. Any hints would be helpful.
Thanks

My brother has 6" pullbacks and the spedo can be moved as high as he wants...he has an Accutronix mount.

It should be no problems for you.

All the cables are long enough too, but you will most likely need to bend the brakeline. Just be careful you don't tweak it.

PICS are in the link in my SIG.

There should be enough wire. There is usually some extra wire tucked under the tank that can give you a little more room.
