Using 04 - 06 Speedo in an 2003
I had a 6 speed gear set installed in my 2003 Road King a couple of years back. Also had to install a speedometer calibration module. Ever since the speedometer will periodically lose the signal and bounce from 0 mph back to the speed that I am going. It cause a real problem, especially when the cruise control is on, as the entire bike lunges with the speedo.
I replaced the calibration module three times, and even removed it to see if it was what was causing the problem. None of this worked. I periodically remove the magnetic pickup and clean the metal shavings off of it. This seems to work for a short bit of time, but then it starts all over again.
Eastern Performance (who installed the 6 speed) tells me that it must be my speedometer itself. I totally disagree with them, as it would be an awfully big coincendence if this is true. I just have a hard time believing that the speedo would malfunction at the exact same time the six speed was installed.
At any rate, I was given a brand new speedo by a friend who got it from another friend. The part number is 67410-04A and it is for model years 2004 - 2006. I would like to try this unit on my bike, but the wiring harness has a different clip on it.
Does anybody know if there is a wiring harness conversion kit out there that would allow me to try this speedometer on my 2003?
Any input is appreciated.

Went to the dealer to see if anyone there had a clue. The gal that I was dealing with at the parts counter had no idea of what she was talking about. I asked her if I could just buy the entire wiring harness for a 2004. She looked at the diagram and said that they dont make a wiring harness and that she could sell me the clip and I would need to start splicing. Service was closed so I couldn't ask anyone there.
I guess I will just put this thing I ebay. It only has 365 miles on it and is in perfect condition. I saw a similiar one sell for $165 that had over 7,000 miles on it.
