Default 2003 Ultra Classic Speedometer

What could be the cause of the speedometer on my 2003 Ultra Classic not working from a start or just going dead while riding. Everything else (electrical) seems to continue working. If I turn the power off then back on (even while riding) the speedometer will start working again. I have checked the plud on the back of the speedometer and it is solidly connected and have not found any loose or bare wires. Is there somewhere else I might look?
Thanks Andy

Check the electical pickup in the transmission. I had some metal shavings on mine and caused the same grief.
