Default Need help with my Fatboy

Not real sure where to post this so I'm sorry if it's supposed to be somewhere else. I'm having a problem with my 2010 Fatboy. I was cruising down the highway and all the sudden my speedometer dropped to 0 then kicked back up. It is continuing to do this. Wiring problem maybe? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for all the replies. It was the speed sensor. I took it off and cleaned it. No problems so far.
