Angry Speedometer replacement help!

My 84 FLH Shovelhead, that I purchased approximately 2 years ago needs a good speedometer. The odometer reset stem on my second J&P cycles speedometer broke (made in Taiwan). I've ordered a new one from Drag Specialities, but of course would prefer a HD speedo. The ratio is 2240:60 (front wheel).

eBay, I have an aftermarket speedo as well, and the trip odometer lasted 3 months, I just keep checking ebay, hoping to find a used stock one, the aftermarket ones are junk.
