The odometer (little lcd screen) on my 1997 heritage softail somehow got ruined. I cannot see any numbers. I already know that I need to replace the speedometer. I know that the new one must be sent to the HD factory to have the milage corrected. So my question is if I purchase a used speedo off ebay with a previous milage already on it can I send that one to the factory to have the milage changed or do I have to buy a brand new speedo at 4x the cost? Also just so I'm sure, I need a HD part number for the speedo just so I know I'm getting the right one (they all pretty much look the same in pictures). Thanks in advance

Did you check with one of your local speedo repair shops Perhaps they can help you out.

The P/N you need is 67027-96a, which has superceded to a C, and no, you can't send it to HD for recalibration. With the electronic speedos, I don't believe there is a way to change registered mileage, short of having the MoCo do it. Hope the P/N helps, just get a used one, and keep track of the discrepencies, and be up front if/when you sell the bike.
UPDATE: I called my local HD dealer today to ask what can I do. He told me it happens all the time and yes they can transfer the milage to a new speedo. Unfortunatly this cost mucho denero. I'll just keep scouring the forums and Ebay until I find what I need. PS.. If anyone has a speedo with roughly 32,000 miles on it and wants to get rid of it please send me a pm.
