Woolich doesn't flash any bikes, they sell components to be able to flash, as well as several other companies. This is so you can build you own flash if you want. It's a great idea, except that tuning on any engine requires a pretty solid knowledge base on what you're doing. When you hear the warnings about being able to smoke an engine pretty quick, well think about how many engines get grenaded at the racetrack because the tuner pushed the limits looking for the last bit of power.
As far as RCannon's post, well he's absolutely right, not all flashes are the same, and you'll get the best work from someone who specializes and deeply cares about a given model or 2. There's a fellow who tunes vmax's, and that's all he does. His tunes are head and shoulders above all others. Everyone I've talked to said "he is the man" on that model. so for me to consider tuning a vmax would be ludicrous.
Along those same lines, I know of a couple other concours tunes. One is laughably cheap, and they list at least 20 different exhaust systems the tune will work with. The only problem is none of those exhausts are even built for a zg1400. So do you really think there was any effort to even learn about the concours, or what the riders want, from that company? They didn't even do due diligence in knowing what exhausts are available, yet they claim their tune works with it. What a freakin' joke, and the joke is on the poor schmuck who falls for the idea that all flashes are the same.
When I set out with this project, i knew I had to eclipse any work done by other tuners. IF you know me, you know the one thing I have is pride in my workmanship - so I can look you in the eye when I do work for you and you know you got my best effort. Couple that, my history with the Concours and it's owners (of which I have been for 12 years) and you start to see why I put in the effort I did. I'm not trying to make an advertisement here, but this is simply my reality. I wouldn't be able to build the best gsxr1000 tune, or the best zx14 tune; I don't ride those bikes, and some very talented tuners do. I ride a Concours... just like you. So figure from there if all tunes are the same. Steve
