Thanks Geezer, Never purchased a used Harley, now I'm looking at a '16 SGS at a local bike shop, (not a dealership) that shows to have 1400 miles on the odometer. the bike is clean, but the mileage seems low for it to be two years old. Would like to somehow verify the actual mileage......... if I understand things correctly you could possibly take a lower mileage ECM and after a few miles it would reflect that on the odometer...

2015 with 500 miles: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dyna-Street...ZaMyQf&vxp=mtr
2014 with 700 miles: https://www.ebay.com/itm/XL883N-Spor...RaOVDF&vxp=mtr
While I was taking a minute to look these up I found a brand new '16 with zero miles.
There are, literally, dozens and dozens of Harley's that have spent the last two or three years sitting under a sheet.

but i think you'd be wasting your hundred bucks. like said, there are a lot of people who buy bikes and never end up riding them. odds are, the mileage is correct (you do have it on the odometer and not the trip odometer, correct?). it's an awful big fine to have messed with the odometer reading on a vehicle.
