Check your connections to the speedo for corrosion, grounds, and broken wires. Also check your battery connections. Speedos are available on eBay. Just about anything for a Softail from 2000 to 2005 will work for you.

U havent said anything about Ur turn sigs. Are they cancelling OK or taking longer sometimes to cancel after a turn?.
Theirs a speedo sensor in the tranny that can cause problems with both. (turn sigs and speedo).
heres some reading U can do to learn more.

This past spring Our bike had slow cancelling turns at times, not every time. Wrench said probably need to clean the tranny sensor or replace it. He said they get a dirty film and cant send proper sig. On our 07 they are a biddy to get to so I though I'd wait till fall storage to do it.
What was weird when I change tranny fluid this summer I went back to 20-50 syn oil instead of the GL and after a few hundred miles, Problem gone.

Mine was doing the same thing last week. Turned out the previous owner had replaced the circuit breaker with a fuse, and the fuse had a tiny crack that allowed it to open and close. Caused by vibration, no doubt.

Bob, thanks for the quick reply. I can't believe my good fortune if it will work. Is there any way you can send a picture? Man this has been a nightmare trying to find the correct speedo. And, how many miles are showing on it? I am fairly new to the forum and can't navigate the side very well yet but am learning. Feel free to email me at vinny@cowisp.net or call my cell at 970-218-7989 Sure would appreciate it. I live in the Fort Collins area of Colorado. Thanks much.

circuit breaker?
Larry, thanks for the tip. Where is that circuit breaker? If I knew where to check that would be helpful.
