Ah cool, good to know, thanks. For some reason the comment above the one I quoted above yours (from Spiff) did not appear when I first looked that explained that. Or maybe I'm just that blind I missed it. So thanks to Spiff as well.
I wouldn't touch the odometer. The rule I always subscribe to is that the odometer measures how far the chassis has rolled. Otherwise a person could go mad trying to figure out which repairs/replacements should reset the clock. etc...)It also makes sense when you think about the disconnect between the number of hours an engine has run vs. the distance it's traveled. Work trucks, limousines and police cars all can spend a significant amount of their life just idling, and that's not reflected in an odometer reading because the chassis never went anywhere in that time.
It's all back road and smooth trail riding, though I live in a hilly area, and I'm an old man. The second bike developed some control issues and they replaced the motor and harness at around 1600 miles. This second motor was fine for about 1500 miles and then failed abruptly. BTW, my odometer was reset with each motor change. I have a separate Vectra unit, and have kept track of the total on that.
For this reason, odometer fraud, a deceptive practice involving the alteration or misrepresentation of a vehicle's mileage, is a federal fraud crime under Title 49 U.S. Code 32703. Title 49 U.S.C. 49 U.S. Code Chapter 327 Odometers has numerous federal laws that are related to 49 U.S.C. Penalties for Odometer TamperingThe penalties for violating Title 49 U.S. Code 32703 and other odometer violations are outlined in 49 U.S.C. 32703 odometer tampering, a skilled federal criminal defense attorney may employ several strategies to combat the charges, as discussed below.

Lots of places use our DeLorean part numbers as identifiers for their "cross-reference" or "copycat" parts, creating confusion in the marketplace. This New Original Stock, or NOS, part traces its origins back to 1982, when the DeLorean factory closed. In some cases, the part has traveled from the original supplier in the US to Dunmurry before making it's way to Ohio and finally Texas!
