If you don't have a speedo cable on your front wheel, you have a speedo sensor. I believe that change was made in 2000.

a 95 harley does not use a digital speedometer. If urs has one, it is probably aftermarket modificiation.
On a 1999 Harley Heritage Classic, the speedometer sensor is located on the transmission. Specifically, it is mounted on the left side of the transmission housing, where it detects the rotation of the speedometer drive gear. This sensor sends signals to the speedometer to display the motorcycle's speed accurately. If you're having issues with the speedometer, checking this sensor and its connections is a good starting point.

To remove the speedometer sensor on a 1999 Harley Davidson 1200 Sportster, first, disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Locate the speedometer sensor, which is typically found on the side of the transmission. Use a socket or wrench to unscrew the sensor from its mounting position, then gently pull it out. Make sure to check for any wiring connections and disconnect them if necessary before fully removing the sensor.
The speedometer sensor is lovande On rop tight of the tranny, loosen The vilt and lift The sensor up, there should be a O-ring so be careful when you lift it up! then sand The sensor genre and clean it carefully. Done!
On the tranny.
I don't think Harley has a retro fit kit to do the change, also the speedometer might not be calibrated for the XL, this speedometer runs off a speed sensor on the transmission and is sensitive. This speedometer can only be used on the FXDWG ('95-'98) Softails ('96-'98) FLHR/I ('95-'98) using retro fit Harley Davidson Part # 67418-99. Hope this helps......
The speed sensor is mounted on the right side of the transmission case below the starter.
There are several things you can do to repair your speedometer. You can replace the speedometer cable. You can replace the speed sensor in the transmission.
The speedometer sensor is located directly above the tranny end cover (toward the rear) on the right side of the bike. You'll see the wire leading from it.
speed sensor is located to the rear of the transmission chrome (retangular) cover. there are four bolts on the cover, if you are looking at the bike from the right side just behind the cover rear bolt is the speed sensor. loosen and remove Allen bolt with 3/16 Allen and rotate sensor just enough to pry out. it is in there snug. i just removed and cleaned my sensor. there were metal shaving. My symptoms were no speedometer , odometer, and turn signal not turning off after conmpleting turn.
