Default Speedometer Problem

My 94 883 speedo does not work the odometer works just not the speed. I am trying to figure out if it is the gauge or could it be the cable or both? Any ideas is appreciated.
TIA

If the odometer is working, the speedo cable is fine. Chances are the speedo gauge is done.

Yeah, I'd say it's the gauge since the odometer is still clicking off the miles, which means the cable is still working.
