Default Speedo Drive Repair

1995 FLH I installed my front wheel and speedo drive, now when I rotate the front wheel the whole speedo drive rotates with the wheel, pulling on the drive cable. The tab is seated properly in the disc and isn't damaged.
If anyone has a suggestion on how to fix this issue please let me know.

First remove the speedo drive and check that it turns smoothly. If not they are cheap enough to replace and are widely available. Then check you have tightened the axle nut correctly, which will clamp everything along the axle together, so nothing can move.
