A case of more haste, less speed that led to a bad decision?
In any case, IMO, this is where it all goes wrong: you took over responsibility for the repair of the machine from the garage, their manager and the mechanics.
As a separate point, I have never heard of electronic components being pre-programmed to particular machines in, or example, computer hardware, so perhaps you should query this with your helpful contact who provided the part from Ireland.
If I am wrong on this, it might be of interest to know what exactly has to be pre-programmed, how that is done remotely from the bike and why it isn't reversible.

Which other motorcycle manufacturer provides this level of service (at a price of course)?
Naturally, it's all down to insurance.

And most of them don't like the black arts of the electronics.
