The odometer (little lcd screen) on my 1997 heritage softail somehow got ruined. I cannot see any numbers. I already know that I need to replace the speedometer. I know that the new one must be sent to the HD factory to have the milage corrected. So my question is if I purchase a used speedo off ebay with a previous milage already on it can I send that one to the factory to have the milage changed or do I have to buy a brand new speedo at 4x the cost? Also just so I'm sure, I need a HD part number for the speedo just so I know I'm getting the right one (they all pretty much look the same in pictures). Thanks in advance

If the odometer is ruined and you can't see the numbers, how would anyone know what to set the new one at?

Harley sets the mileage before it gets shipped to the dealer. Harley will not reset mileage on a used speedometer.

There are custom shops that will repair and or reset your speedometer. Google search "repair harley speedometers".
