the bottom right fuse is the accessory fuse and controls the speedo, horn, turn signals, brake light, and turn signal module. If you don't have power on either side of that fuse with the ignition switch in the on position, then you've got a wire that's come loose and more than likely it's behind the fusebox. Concentrate on orange wires with a white stripe.

also use a test light if you have one. touch one side of the fuse while you try to move the fuse around a little and see what happens. might simply be bad contacts where the fuse plugs into the fusebox.

if you have power on that orange white wire going to speedo head, all brake and turn signals work, and your horn works, then it's not the fuse or fuse block. So you've done the hard work now. I'm fairly certain at this point that you're dealing with a dead speedo. Do you have a buddy who can loan you a sportster speedo to simply plug in and make sure it works?
