hey Steve, thanks for the info.
I have used reflash devices on cars before so the concept of directly 
remapping the ecu is something I have done before. Just not with the triumph.
I knew that I did not want a PCIII after the disaster with my buddys 
01 vfr (closed loop issues and more).  In fact I wish that tune boy 
would take a crack at the honda ecu, particularly the 98-01 VFR's units.

Finding a dyno should not be too much of a problem since there is one 
near me that handles all sorts of tuners. The also speciallize in 
retrofitting EFI to bikes (mostly Inline Fours).

I wonder how much could be found with just some mild upgrades and a 
good solid tune for premium gas?
