thanks, good to know.

i also had a bad experience w/ a PC and took it off w/ the VFR way back.

only place i know of "locally" that flashes is johnny cheese, near austin. would be a nice day trip

i just can't justify $350 for a PC , then another $300+ for a tune........

my powdercoat buddy said he'd P/C my throttlemeisters for free since i gave him good feedback on our local forum..... :)

karl, is there a place that flashes the ECU nearby? would you prefer that or a PC? why?

I don't know of any shop that will reflash the ECU around here.
Plus it is easier to return to stock(and I could sell the parts separately) if I ever needed to sell.

Have you looked around? I know of one here that does. My friend Ian has a dragrace only busa, and had his flashed early last season while he waited for dyno time. It was an hour away, but the nearest mc dyno tuner is 3 hours.

well to optimize a tuning "flash" you need to dyno tune at the same time just like a PC.

Man...Lucky for me Kawi Powdercoated my Ish black from the Factory :)

Looks good though, All bikes should come like that...It looks so much cleaner

your bike is awesome. That's exactly what mine would look like in my mind's eye. Trade you my $12,000 Vmax that's worth $6000 for it!

I will gen a Gen II Hayabusa. Might take me several years....but I will. Stupid kids!
