2012 fatboy speedo question
OK so let's say I install one of the upgraded Harley speedo/tach's on my 2012 fatboy.
Now i know that the new speedo's odometer will show the correct mileage after 31 miles of riding.
But let's say after few thousand miles I for whatever reason want to go back to the stock speedo. The question is will the stock speedo then update the correct mileage to the odometer?

I'm almost certain that the answer is yes. Pretty sure that the mileage on that bike is stored also in the ECM, and that it updates to the speedo. The speedo and ECM (and tuners and other such stuff) link together at some point during their use, so it won't recognize another ECM.
The new speedo/tach won't work on another bike, then, and the old speedo then won't allow for odometer fraud. (Not that I'm suggesting that's what you are trying to do - please don't take my statement as accusation.)
