Any particular tips or differences to consider that I may be missing? I have an 09 XT motor and ECM that I'm going to put in my 06 Ulything. The plan is to order a '10 SS harness (I believe the '10 Lightnings have front O2 sensors, correct?), flash the ECM to '10 spec, and weld an O2 bung into my Micron front primary. I have the later TPS, CKP, injectors, etc. Will the stock thottle cables fit the later, different cable guides in the throttle body? Anything else I'm forgetting?

All the 10's have front O2 sensors, so you're good on that. I've even seen one bike with an 09 harness with an added front O2 sensor and 10 ECM. I don't believe the 07 throttle cables will work. I changed to 09 cables when I did the swap.

Programming on 2010 ECMs is different to deal with the different fuel pump vs previous years.

Badwebber Coldwind built a "Frankenstein" XB12S that includes the added O2 sensor I mentioned above. Confirming what Froggy said, the check engine light on his bike stayed on until he installed a 2010 fuel pump. IIRC, there's an extra wire for a pressure sensor on the 2010 pump.

Swell! Tbe part list growing even more lol. Do you know if the fuel pump itself is the same? My goal is to eventually build it into a 90", so I'd like to make sure I know which high pressure regulator to get when I do.
