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.....

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.

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!
