What year /model ??? I put new /used speedometer in my '06 Ultra,......and it came up the mileage on the new speedometer.
I believe that the original mileage may be stored in the CPU,...........but my display was the new odometer.

bikes a 2010 ultra classic, I'm looking at the new gauge, there's nothing else in the box.gauges are the brushed aluminum finish. what seems wierd, and stands out to is a label that reads"M=20006". not sure about that, and why the flag jumps out at me. In the book they say mileage re instatement available from dealer?.

This sounds oh so "par for the course".
The ECM has the memory so it retains any necessary information, and I'd bet the odometer is simply a read only, display device.
The moco has figured out another way to generate revenue by having the consumer make any changes through their dealer network.
Don't get me wrong, I love what the moco stands for, and my bike, but do tyre of the ways they make their $$$$.........

This works!!!
Mine is an 08 Ultra but the way my dealer, (who are great people by the way and don't deserve any of the stealer and other negative stuff that apparently some of them deserve), they offered to do mine for me but said it would be best to do in the winter when it can be on this machine for a while. They do something and don't quote me here, but some sort of a gauge test or something with some thinking outside of the box, again because they will go way outta the way for ya, is to have the speedo hooked up to the bike and this laptop or test exuipment or something and the speedo thinks the bike is traveling at 99 or 100 MPH and so the miles tally up. I had to add 16,000 miles so you do the math, but it works and they offered to do it with no charge except to open fairing and hook it up labor, not the time the machine was running. Sure hope this help
