Default Speedometer info and tech questions

Hi,
I just recently purchased a Dakota Digital speedometer for my 2009 Road King.
(I love it!!!)

The question I have is:
the the previous speedometer (which I changed out last year!) and is the custom Harley Davidson speedometer...
Am I able to sell this?
I was told by the tech that it is "married" to my bike and may not work on others.
It has 26,xxx miles on it.
Can it be reprogrammed back to zero?
Or if I sell it, can the new buyer be able to use it?

Pics of the speedometer I'd like to sell:

I don't have an exact answer for you, but here's what it says in the installation instructions:

Once the countdown reaches zero, the speedometer is locked to the ECM. If installed on another vehicle the odometer displays "VIN ERR".
