Default New to me RKC - is a windshield compatible with tachometer?

Just bought a 2002 Road King Classic (my first HD), havent even picked it up yet but was thinking about the fact that it has a tachometer and was wondering if a windshield can be used with it. It looks like it might be in the way of a shield attaching on, has anyone had this issue before? Was thinking maybe could notch out the bottom of a shield to make it fight. I attached a picture for reference.

Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance!

I put the 2 5/8" HD tach on a new 03 roadking, put it on the handlebar cover with the HD billet mount and the windshield cleared it fine. Gonna do the same with an 11 RKC I just bought.

Here are some pics of schv's set up. He says you can still fit the windshield on but NO windshield bag.

They are right, Shield fits but you can not have a bag.
