Used speedometer
NDBadlands4-2
"Yesterday I was at the dealer and they had the new combo tach, speedo display. The parts guy said that on newer bikes the miles are stored in the ECM, not the speedo, so it is just plug and play. "
Can anyone confirm this? I found a used speedometer I want but don't want to buy if the mileage isn't correct.

I agree with Spider. Just replaced the speedo on my Father's 2005 883. Must've got some moisture in it so I replaced with new. The factory shipped it with the mileage I requested, 5,990 miles. That's why we went that route instead of used. Opened the old one up and there was rust spots on some of the soldered points. Kept blowing fuses.

The problem is I cant buy it new because the one I want isn't sold anymore. I guess I will keep the old one for now.
