New Speedo...

Been looking at new speedo's for my 09 Ultra... the titanium ones to be more specific. Only thing keeping me from ordering right now is that I have to order the speedo with a mileage and not ride my bike until the part gets here or estimate miles and continue riding hoping I don't roll over.... so I have been told.

Then I start reading a thread about the new speedo's for my wife's Sporty; the one with digital speed, analog RPM, gear indicator, and fuel level. From what I gather this thing will calibrate mileage from the ECM as long as you have been rolling with the stock (or other HD speedo)... one guy had issues since he had a Dakota Digital on before.

In the end my Q is... do all the HD speedo's calibrate from the ECM or just the new ones released this year?

Thanks
Rick

I've heard there was a change for '12 where the new speedo would get mileage from ecm. that is change to the bike's ecm, not the speedo (but I'm a 'see it to believe it' guy and I haven't seen it yet). since you have an '09, you will need to provide mileage when speedo is ordered - you can always estimate high, then when speedo arrives, keep riding until you catch up before installing.
