Some of the ECM tuners will allow you to do that. Power Vision for one I believe, I have one but haven't tried that function. My speedo reads exactly 3 mph faster than the gps and that may have saved me a ticket or two.

As has been said, some of the tuners will do that. I have a Power Vision and part of the dyno service I had done was to calibrate the speedo. Expensive if you're not going to use a tuner anyway, but something to keep in mind if you do decide on one. Be sure to get one that will fix the speedo.

My Street Glide is off to based on those electronic school zone speed limit signs that flash your speed (in a stern bright red if you're speeding)....Pisses me off. Why can't HD just properly calibrate IMPORTANT instruments on the $23,000 machines they're selling people. I love my bike, but some of the BS shortcuts and laziness the MoCo pulls is really infuriating.

I use a "Speedo Tuner" it plugs into the speed sensor about $80 on evilbay. Baker makes a plug in calibrator too.

I bought a HealTech Speedo Healer for my Yamaha FZ1 after making a sprocket change. It works great on that bike. For Harleys you need to know which ignition system your bike has. They are $116.99 through a vendor they link to on their site.

All vehicles are like this, its a liability thing. Better to say you are going faster than you are, than slower.
Many variables can affect this - wheel size, inflation, etc.
If you have a power vision, here's how you calibrate your speedo for free:
