    Ok guys at it again....


    this time i was cruising around at a good pace and outta the blue i look down only to find that my speedo isnt working at all. I have the stock 1996 sportster speedo, no tach, it is electronic and has the digital read out for the miles, never had a problem before. i pulled the gauge cluster off and no broken wires, or any visable signs of anything that would cause it to not work. Is it possible that the sensor could cause this unit not to work? and if so i assume it is located in the tranny , but where abouts?

    Not sure about a Sportster, but on my 02' Heritage the speed sensor is right on top of the tranny.
