Yep, but it's still here. Been closed for a while. Can't say how many seafood businesses have tried to make it there. Now it's called "Bubbas".

Check out my motovlogs in my linky below. I do a lot if riding in this neck of the woods.

Let us know how the ole speedo turns out man.

I don't know if this will help ... it's from the 1998 Sportster Service Manual

Thank you! However, for some reason it is illegible on my end?

Try zooming in on it. That seems to work on my screen.

Thanks so much "14G"! Good stuff there.

So just to update:
1.) Replaced dual gauge bracket due to crack in a weld.
2.) Removed/Inspected/Cleaned all wires and contacts from speedo to speed sensor connector.
3.) R/R speed sensor with new oem part.
4.) Added a little dielectric grease to all connections.
5.) Reassembled everything and...NOPE! Looks like replace speedo is next.

Found a nice one on ebay with similar miles and will replace when arrives?

Thanks again for all yall's help.
