Default 1998 FXD speedo ratio

Hey y’all. Anybody know the speedo ratio for the 1998 FXD? Mine is broken and I’d like to get an aftermarket one.

As far as I know since 96 on most models and '98 on the rest They went to a speed sensor in the transmission so basically there's only one ratio on the speedometer and it's all electronic.

Check the speed sensor in the transmission before you buy a new speedometer. When they get a buildup of metal fuzz, they won't give a clean signal to the electronic speedometer.
