Interesting. It seems I may be having a related problem... I ride a 2006 FXDBI and am also having trouble with my speedo lights. In fact, I am also having trouble with my horn and turn signals. When I turn the key to either the start or ACC position, everything powers up just fine, except my speedo lights/odometer. Heck, my speedo doesn't even work now! Also, when I hit my turn signal switches, the signals don't work, either. Same for the horn. I checked the fuse and it was blown. Replaced it and POP! I traced the circuits out in the manual and the speedo lights, turn signals, and horn all run through the same fuse to the ACC position on the ignition switch module. I looked inside the rats nest of wiring in the neck/frame and even took a look at the speedo and ignition switch and couldn't SEE anything wrong. I suspect it might be the ignition switch module at fault, which sucks since it is not a repairable part. Also lending to my suspicion of the ignition switch is the fact that the other day I couldn't get the fork lock to engage; I noticed the locking pin wasn't ligned up with the hole inthe bottom tree, so I pushed it back in place with a small bolt I had. Everything worked fine for a bit, but now I have no turn signals, horn, odometer, speedo light, or speedometer. Not sure if this is related to your problem, but I hope it helps. Any ideas on my problem?

You have to check all the related wiring, you have an electrical short somewhere. Carefully examine all the connections and exposed wires...b.

Did this problem pop up out of the blue, or did it start after you performed work on the bike?
Which fuse?
