Nice, I like that. I might have to do something similar, but I need to get a new seat, raise the rear and get a PC3/5

well i did wanna buy your sprocket lol

i'd like to black out the rear axle
maybe paint the silver part of the gascap

only thing i'd do performane wise is flash the ecu, but i'm having a hard time justifying $300-400 for 7-8hp and "smoother" power.

think i should paint or powdercoat my throttlemeister.

I can't speak for Karl, but given how much trouble I had with the PC2 on my Tiller, I'd go for the ECU adjustment.
When I had the Warrior, a lot of guys on the forums that went with the PC3 spliced theirs directly into the wiring instead of using the connectors.
Apparently there was a fairly common issue with the stock connectors where the impedance would be off by a few ohms and would cause the adjustment to be thrown off, causing performance problems.
With that sort of issue as a possibility, I'd rather just have the ECU flashed.

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.
