hi guys..i have a 96 road king with speedo problems..sometimes it works fine but sometimes it goes blank and once in awhile it shows that i'm going twice as fast as i am. whenever it isn't working right the directionals don't shut off automaticaly. i changed the speedo sensor which seemed to help for a short time but not for long..any ideas? i ordered a new speedo early last year and by the time i got it mine was working fine again and it was good for the rest of the year. i've only had it out a couple of times so far this year and it's blank. any ideas/ thanks rob

Have you checked the new sensor to see if it's dirty? Usually when you clean them up, they work ok.
