Picked a 1972 Shovelhead custom chopper. I have to add an odometer to get a title. It does not have a speedometer or any gauges other than an oil pressure gauge. Any advice on how to wire in the odometer? Can send pictures if that will help.

You will need to add a speedo drive and cable from the front wheel to a speedometer. When you have the correct Harley speedo drive, you will need to re-space the front wheel accordingly.

Dependent if the Transmission has the Speedo connection. ?? Careful with speedometer types. 1:1 Ratio Speedos are used on all transmission-drive 1962-1980 FL, 1980-1983 FXWG and 1971-1972 FX models, 2:1 Ratio, or 2240:60 Wheel size and Harley speedo drive for the front wheel all need to match up
I just bought a Sportster 05 without a speedometer. Does it use a cable, or just a speed sensor? Thaks.
