Default 1991 Heritage Softail odometer

The tripometer on my 1991 Softail is busted. I found a used OEM speedo online, but it has 70-some-thousand miles on it. Anyone know how I can roll one of these analog jobs back to match it to my 44k original miles?

Thanks,
Jared

I believe those speedos will turn backwards but it is not
practical to do that. Keep your original and buy either
a used one with closer miles or a new aftermarket one.
You may just try and repair you trip meter
