So.....this boils down to without a H-D proprietary Scanalyzer you are stuck with a MM EFI bike, regarding historic DTC's?

Not according to the service manual I have for the 99 FLT models.  In the fuel injection section (chapter 9) it states if not using the scanalyzer to turn the ignition switch to run for 3 seconds then to off for 3 seconds, then repeat that procedure again.  Then turn the key to ignition and wait 8 seconds and that will put the check engine lamp and ecm in diagnostic mode (pretty much like jumping pins 1 and 2 for the data link connector in the carburetor models).  Then you count the series of flashes to get the codes.  Give it a try and see what happens.

The 2000 FLT SM, also states that historic set DTC's, is't available for speedo readout. The speedo readout for this specific bike indicated no DTC's present.
