Question How can I fix speedo after upsizing wheel??

I just put a 21x3.5 Ultima King Spoke in place of the stock 16" front wheel on my 95 Flht Electra Glide. My speedo is off by about 7mph and am wondering if I could use a stock softail w/stock 21" of about the same year to fix the problem. Or is it in the speedo its self??

I am missing something here? I thought the speedo was related to the back tire, not the front.

It runs off the front brake disk on the older bikes...
