2017+ Touring Model ECU all the same?
Bought bike with no ECU, now need an ECU for a 2020 CVO. Is all the ECUs for Touring models the same as far as functions? I was going to get a 2020 Roadglide ECU and get a tuner to flash it to a CVO, thanks!

I want to hear the rest of this story 2020 CVO sold with no ECU. When you purchase a new ECU it must be flashed by HD or with a copy of the factory flashed you save with a unit that allows you to. The tune is just one small part of it. Buying one off the shelf is not going to plug and play.

In 2020 touring most bikes it is showing the replacement ECM being #41000724A (even on some CVO's), but on yours a CVO Street Glide replacement is showing #41000668.
In 2019 touring it is showing #41000599 for the replacement ECM(even on some CVO's), but a CVO Street Glide is showing #41000668.
On 2017 & 2018 it looks like they show #41000307 in 4 different touring bikes I checked (CVO & Non CVO).
Looks like you're gonna need a pretty specific ECM for a 2020 CVO Street Glide... and for someone to be sure it is program correctly.
Check it out yourself to be sure.

Nope. Likely newer software to accomodate the additional sensors switches and displays, but same hardware if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, this is for either a Dealer or an independent with the proper tools and know how to do the job. It's not an at home repair, at least for 99% of people. They are not plug and play parts, new ones are essentially blank units that require a flash. And with a CVO model, the correct flash must be made to match the components on the bike. And getting a used one is a no go because the VIN is coded in the ECM and must match the BCM and speedometer or you will get the VIN ERR message in the Odometer.
Does it still have a BCM or speedometer? You will need to have these parts all "married" to each other, which required the HD Digital Technician and correct flash.

Yeah, I checked the bike and still currently has the speedo and BCM attached to the bike. I was thinking of Thundermax as well but wanted to check other options before spending $1,100 on an ECM and send my BCM out to get recoded with new Fob $300. I have most of the other parts to put it back together but want to tackle the starting/running portion of the bike first. Would definitely make me feel better about putting the rest of the bike together.
