So to clarify:
You have a 1990 Heritage Softail classic of unknown ownership years, it has 32000 miles and it is unknown when it last operated correctly.
General condition is also unknown.
You report that speedometer mileage and trip meter stopped working. Guess that means the needle does not move at all and that miles ridden does not change.
You report that Speedometer itself sticks occasionally but that statement contradicts "speedometer mileage and trip meter stopped working" unless this problem has been going on for a while.
In trying to decipher the information provided it seems like a review of speedometer cable and both attachment points would be a start but it could be a gear inside the speedometer.

Ok. Bought this bike last November with 28000 miles. Bike overall was in good condition but had sat awhile do to owners death. I cleaned carb and breakes and adjusted belts snd primary. The speedometer worked fine until the cable broke. Replaced cable and drive unit and it worked for a little while and broke cable again. This time just new cable and a good lube. Fine again for awhile then stopped. Not csble but just a burr or somerhing stopped the cable from turning. Well finally after thinking I'd fixed it it stopped on the way from an Indiana ride. The needle would stop snd mileage would to. Get home and relube and the needle moves but trip and milegae have stopped completely.
