Isn't that a mechanical speedo? Mine used to be ok, now it's 10 off, which means the odo isn't registering properly either.

Here is the fun!!!!!!!!!!
Harley uses 3 different ratios for their speedometers.
1 to 1, 2 to 1, and 2240 to 60.

On your front axle you will find the speedo drive gear.
It has to match your speedometer.

It could be a bad speedo cable.
