I have a 2005 Heritage Softail. The speedometer pegs itself when you turn on the ignition switch then returns to normal and will not read at all . I check all the wiring to insure nothing was loose and also the speed sensor . Any thought on what else I can look at to fix this problem?

What you describe, sounds like you have a failing speedometer.

I had the same problem with my 05 Ultra Glide. It would Peg and then after awhile it would just stay there. I replace the speedo and everything works fine now
My 2001 FLHT did that twice. It was the speedo sensor in the transmission. An aftermarket replacement sensor Permanently fixed it - So far!
I have a 2017 ultraclassic an I’m wanting to put 4in handle bars on .. any videos for how to do that ..??
