    Very interesting. $22.00 in components for a $150.00 gizmo being marketed (as extracted from that article).

    As I have remarked before... this is one bike I am not going to change anything; regarding the ECM or fuel/air ratios. It's perfect. Other bikes I have done so... but the F6B is going to stay virgin in that area.

    The author didn't include the cost of the 2 molex connectors if you can source them. Also, I see the newer version are encased in an epoxy, presumably to prevent people from doing what this author did.

    I don't understand all the negativity. The guy put something together that actually works and he makes a little profit. Big deal. I mean we're only talking about $150 which includes shipping from Denmark FCS. To install on a $20,000 bike.

    I know. I've been riding for over 50 years. Been on a lot of forums. Never understood it.

    Don't sweat it as its just exchanging thoughts and opinions which is really the purpose of the forum. It wouldn't be any fun if everything presented was applauded and lauded with no counter views. Throw it out there and see what comes back and let the discussion happen. As you can see there is a healthy variety of viewpoints, bring it on, and maybe it may persuade or deter someone from the product but that is ultimately up to them after weighing the information.

    Yeah, I get the premise.
