They used to use really tiny c-clips to hold the speedometer to the dashboard on my Evo Softail. I had to remove them to access the speedometer cable to lubricate it. It was really fun trying to remove or Install a tiny clip underneath the dash. I think there are still a few c-clips on the front cylinder head.

The vibration would shake the speedometer until the grommets wore out (on my `89 Softail they would last about 1 oil change interval).
I got tired of replacing the rubber grommets around 1990, and used some nuts, bolts and spacers.
