The original mounting system was two pins with rubber grommets and those tiny clips.
The vibration would shake the speedometer until the grommets wore out (on my `89 Softail they would last about 1 oil change interval).
I got tired of replacing the rubber grommets around 1990, and used some nuts, bolts and spacers.

I also still have a sack of those tiny e-clips.

To remove those small e clips, I use a duckbill pliers, one surface against the round pin, the other jaw against the tips of the clip at the open end, squeeze and it pushes the clip partway off the pin, then a small screwdriver in the opening and pop it off.
