Did you have it serviced at a dealer shortly before it was stolen? If so, get that mileage from that service interval, add what ever mileage you think you may have put on it between service and stolen date, then add the 1000+ miles from the current odometer, and order a new speedo with that mileage on it...

Typically, when you order a speedo, the person at the parts counter is suppose to verify your mileage... Why do you think they cost so much...

Hi,
Did you ever get this worked out.
What was the model of the speedo you have with 1000 miles on it. Send the part number if you still have it. I am looking for on with about that milage but with the white/silver face

Log your best guess in your owner's manual, with the replacement date and the odometer reading of the new one. That should serve as an official record... I had to do it when I bought my color-matched odometer, as I had to guess how many miles would be on my bike by the time the odometer arrived and I logged the actual and set readings in my manual for record keeping.
Can't recall where, probably here, but I had found some posts about the legalities of swapping odometers and that was one of the acceptable means to serve as an official record of offset.

I just ordered a new speedometer from HD for a 2012 FLHTK. Comments on the parts people needing the previous odometer reading are correct- HD will reset the new odometer to the correct mileage.
I was surprised that the bill for the part was $160. 7-10 days to ship.
I'd like to guess that the odometer is reset via a special adaptor and module that will never be for sale to the public.

Here is a guy that will do it, but it is kind of expensive:
