Default FLH Speedo problems

Hi everyone, to put you in the picture, I got an 89 FLH electra glide that I just converted to rk look, all rewired, polished and painted etc etc. problem I got is with the rk tank and dash,I need a matching 5"Speedo, but, I may be wrong here, the rk did not come witha front wheel cable operated Speedo drive which is what my FLH has, so, does anyone know of a solution here as this is what's holding the whole operation up, any input would be appreciated, John.

The early Road Kings did run front wheel drive,through about 1998. After that they went to transmission sensors, which won't work on your bike. Gotta' find the right speedo.
