Default How to set clock on speedo?

I had my speedo relocated and now the clock flashes "12:00" when I cycle through the display. I frequently leave the clock displayed while I drive so I'd like to get it set. Any ideas on how to do so??

Thanks

Scroll through the speedo until you get to the clock. Hold down the button until it starts blinking. Then click fast to make the selection. First it's 12/24 hour time. Then hour, then minutes. Between each hold the button until it blinks at the next one. Then click fast again. When done hold the button one last time. You're done.

It's always midnight when you're on a Sportster, didn't you know?
