If it's the same as mine you just keep pressing the button on the back thru two trip odometers, odometer, & clock.

I actually broke down and bought a clock that sits on my neck bolt.



Like said. Press the button on the back of the speedo to rotate through trip a, trip b, odom, and clock.

If you don't have one you may be able to download an owners manual on the H-D website - go to the Owners tab. The manual should confirm the clock plus a whole lot more!
