I'll be the Guinea-pig, my ECU is already on it's way to them. I'll report back when it returns.


Way to take one for the team.  Bookmarked......

Let us know how it works out.

I tried to buy a frame from that guy a while back....  Was on ebay 2-3 times for $500, didn't sell.  When I emailed him he said the price was $750.  I asked about the $500 ebay price...he didn't respond.  When he emailed me back asking if I wanted to buy it, I told I had found one at Gotham for $500....  he went bi-polar on me, banned me from bidding/buying from him on ebay, and left me a few (at least 2) ranting emails about how blah blah blah is ruining this and that, and I've been doing it longer.

Therefore, DesmoPorsche gets my biz, and he's $50 cheaper to boot  waytogo

Received a Paypal email that Desmo-Porsche had submitted the invoice for payment just like Bobby explained to me. He stated in the email that I would get the bill once the work was completed, hopefull that means my ECU will be in the mail soon. applause

Will the DP ECU reflash work well with any open exhaust and open airbox?  Just take the top off the airbox or chop it?

I just took mine off and ran zip ties from clip to clip across the filter to hold it in.  That way it is reversible if you want to reverse it.  It looks a little like ass though.  I'm planning to go to pods eventually and this way I will have a stock airbox to sell or put back on the bike when/if I sell it.

I chopped it. Just left enough for the clips to rest against. I don't think the K&N seals well enough by itself.

Let us know how the reflash goes, if you have a good experience with this I think I'm next in line.

The zip ties are real snug and the recommendation came from Donnie at Ducpond, so I trust him.  Also, when running, vacuum pulls on it pretty good. Just to check, I went out and cut the ties and the inside of the box is no dirtier than before.  Of course YMMV......

Careful with the reflashes, make sure you get some kind of a guarantee.  I bought one from Monstermash and it crapped out on me, left me firing on one cylinder after 6 weeks.  Tow to the shop, troubleshooting and the cost of the ecu left me out $600.

no way monstermash left you hanging. did you work with him? i mean to go get a brand new ecu due to a reflash? sounds fishy to me.

ECU is in the mail today. Pretty quick turn around time.

 An EPROM can go bad any time I suppose but a reflash really shouldn't cause a delayed failure.
Desmo guarantees it will work when it arrives, which is about what I would expect. It's not unheard of for the end-user to "Fat-Finger" an installation.
