I recently finished using the ECU Reflash tool and installed the black ceramic coated 2 >1 exhaust system.

Many have posted detailed reviews and install stories but I wanted to share my positive experience here in case anyone is still on the fence.

Nothing but a big smile on my face during my daily commute to work now (cross San Francisco everyday). After the reflash my throttle response in 1st - 3rd feels much more lively and the sound coming from the exhaust system is...pretty insane. Somehow sounds exotic and throaty at the same time. In short, my stoke and excitement for riding the bike has come back.

The process for using the reflash was straight forward, biggest issue for me was finding a friend with a PC to run the .exe file!

Only watch outs for the install of the 2 >1 is that the black ceramic coating can scratch pretty easily and I wish I had a buddy around to help me be on both sides of the bike at the same time.

Shot Todd a few emails over the weekend during install and he was super responsive and answered my questions in a timely manner.

Couple of pics of the bike here for you.

Damn, that's sweet looking!
 
Looks like a BAAK seat and grips. Looks great, I've been considering a similar setup on my black Stone.

Naw custom seat upholstery (took stock seat and shaved it down and worked with a local auto upholstery shop in SF). The grips are POSH japanese rubber grips.

Dig the seat. What's the name of the shop and what did they charge? I'm in the SF Bay Area and have been half-heartedly looking for a good place to get this done. Many thanks!

Wally's Auto Upholstery, not open on weekends. Place is pretty amazing, tons of fabric/leather options. I brought in some pics of what I had in mind. The guys are pros. They've done a dirt bike seat for me as well.

I think the price was around $250 but can't fully remember.
