Default ECM/ECU Upgrade??
so I think I need to replace my ECM/ECU on my 2007 Nightster cause one of my pins got pushed back into the computer itself and I cannot seem to pull it back out. Do I have to purchase a whole new ECM/ECU or is there upgrades that are plug and play out there I can get?

Well I've never seen anything about complete replacements. But I have seen special tools for pulling and pushing pins, might be able to pick one up an autozone or something. Worst case scenario maybe you can open the box up and see about replacing the pin if need be.
