Default Night Train windshield question?

I'm considering a quick detach windshield for my 2002 Night Train so I can extend my riding season up here in the Northeast well into the winter. I have the HD tach mounted on my stock NT drag bars w/ stock risers. Does anyone know if the quick detach windshield will clear the tach, I would hate to pick up the shield only to have it hit the tach. Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't think it will get in the way, that windshield kinda sits a little forward when it is mounted,
I have one for my Train 06, and am sure glad i got it, although I don't care for how it looks.
Mainly use it when the wife rides, or when it is very chilly.
Does that tach fit in front (forward of the bars or behind)?

I think you have plenty of room, remember you have lots of room to install a leather windshield bag if you didn't have the tach. I think the windshield is a great idea for you. Its a safety factor in the NW. Lots of rocks on the road in the spring, bugs and other stuff flying up to hit you in the face.

Just like the deuce, the train looks to good without a windshield. but if you must use one look at the windvest.
