Default 1998 RC "mileage/odometer" replacement?

Hello Folks,

Have a 1998 Road King Anny, and while the speedo is working fine, the LCD mileage / odometer is bleeding the #'s, whereas I can not read the first 3 digits.

I know there is a retrofit kit ($273) #67033-95D, which you have to cut all 12 wires from the back of the old speedo, crimp 12 new Deutsch connectors, and reconnect to the new speedo . . .

But since the ONLY &#&#&#& problem is the mileage odometer LCD, is there a way or has anyone just replaced the LCD mileage/odometer unit, and if so any advice, suggestions or precautions?

In advance, thanks . . .

wow ???,
can't you use an ebay speedometer with a kit like 74468-03.
A search on internet shows that 1998 speedometers on road kings seems to show several reports of odometer leaks..I have a 1998 efi road king classic and it has a few very very small leaks on edges..
downside to replacement of speedometer with-out following proper channels is that bike could be declared TMU..TRUE MILEAGE UNKNOWN

this ebay listing has one for $245 delivered and should not require ...but my parts book for a 1998 road king classic fuel injection reads (67268-98) and ebay is a (-97)....i wonder if a nice ebay speedometer with a $60 adapter would be the way to go.

The new speedo "kit" for a 1998 KC is #67033-95D, which includes (1) 67033-99a Speedo, and the retrofit kit # 67418-99 ( Duetsch mini terminals, connector/adapter.

So, yes if I can acquire a 67033-99a speedo (off ebay) and purchase the 67418-99 kit from Harley, I should be good to go, assuming I can get access to a Duetsch crimping tool.

I was hoping that I did 'not' have cut all the wires off the old speedo . .. but simply "replace" the LCD odometer unit!

double check part numbers before ordering anything so you don't get hammered

and so does chicago...67268-98
MY parts book shows the above number as part number on 1998 road king classic FI..which should be same as your bike minus the special anniv. #'d paint

either way you decide you have some choices..

IM . . .

you have been a 'huge' help . . .

I wish to avoid buying an original speedo, as it most likely has the dreaded bleeding odometer.

So, it looks like I am going to get either a new kit, or 60733-99a speedo and the retro kit.

Again, you have "very" helpful and quite "responsive".
