This has come up on multistrada.net so I thought I would check this board to see if there are any earlier adopters. I did a search and couldn't find anything, so I will ask. Does anyone have experience with any of these products which claim to do the previously undoable and allow one to remap the stock ecu?

No FHE, but you missed one...

Anthony / DesmoWorks.com (they were gearing up to do a few different options)
Doug Lofgren from Silverback Performance (this is the guru of FI Ducati tuning from Minnesota). He is remapping ECU's as well as building new fuel maps for various exhaust systems as well.
MonsterMash here on the DMF (see Minor Sponsor Board on the left)
Rumour there is someone in New York (ex-BCM Ducati mechanic) that is doing them as well
Plus there is an outfit in Sweden that has been remapping them for years. (good reputation for doing)
I know of two other folks in the industry who have hired EE's to hack the ECU and figure out what everything is. I guess it isn't too difficult as the internal components within the ECU have standardized manuals and notes to access. I'm sure in 12 months there will be some interesting Internet articles and how to use your hardware development programmer/debugger to read/write to the chip itself.
Too bad Ducati raised the price (x4) of the DP ECU. Nobody had incentive in the past to get into the software side of the ECU until this happened.
I have a rapid bike 3 unit....for sale with wiring harness for 2v. and O2 emulator.
Ive been using it for a while now and i just dont have the $$ to go for a dyno tune to get it to run perfectly. Runs great though. made my bike smooth in the lower RPMs and recently got 57mpg on a trip (stock gearing so low revs) where iwas avging 80-90mph. ( i weight like nothing though)

No doubt. Now they'll be selling "zero" standalone ECU's once everyone realizes they can get the exact same coding for a few hundred.
