Default speedo question

i have a 96 springer, my speedo is 5 miles too fast until you get around 60-65 mph then its pretty accurate, (i have a gps to check the speed)ive changed the speedo sensor, still the same, the speedo needle sits on 4 mph when the bike is turned off, is thier anything that can be done to fix it or do i have to get a new speedo? all the speedos ive found i have to have some kind of retrofit kit for it and the dealers ive checked with said that part has been on backorder for some time, thanks

check if the odometer is correct. I also have found gps to be off as much as 2mph. i went with smaller back tire and it was just right. now back to Harley tire and 2mph off but the odometer is correct so no big deal.
