PFMI don't have the #s in front of me, but I think my PCIII from FBF was $329 and that included mapping. I had it done at the 6000 service and they also did their open airbox conversion and picked up and delivered my bike and the total was around $1100. From what I can tell from the dyno chart it took 12 runs to get the mapping right. I was so happy with their service and how well the bike runs , I took them a case of beer as a thank you. Just my $.02
OK Dr. Economics. why don't you share your theory with me? I gotta hear this one....And this has nothing to do with supply and demand.....
sorry tony but i also gotta dissagree with you here. if somebody bought a casio, put the rolex name on it, and charged you more than the cost of a casio, would you buy it? i wouldn't. the point is that FBF doesn't actually make anything. they rebadge what other manufacturors make and resell at a mark up. they're riding on their (well-deserved) reputation from their racing heritage.It is a matter of demand though. Its the same as buying a Rolex watch as compared to a Casio. People pay more for a name/reputation. It really doesnt matter if they have one unit for sale, or 100. They know people will pay the price due to geographical restrictions etc... not everyone has internet access (funny but its true).
Sorta - the Sils I got from Joe (bought as Sils) came in a Sil Motor box, but they came with FBF stickers in the box (not on the cans) - it would be my guess that they all come that way, whether you order Sils or FBFs. If anyone wants to turn their Sils into FBFs, I'll sell you my stickers cheap ;DThe pipes that Motostrano have are actually FBF pipes, sold as FBF...
ok, I gotta stick up for myself and the ignorant masses. Say you go into a "reputable" jewelry/watch store and they have a beautiful Rolex... no no no, Lets make it even simpler. Ever been to NYC where the street vendors sell the fake Rolex watches? If they are smooth talking enough to get you to seriously consider buying one-thinking it is real, they got ya. A real Rolex doesn't "tick" though the seconds. It rolls continuously. Being uneducated, a person would believe it is a real good deal. I mean they look authentic until the gold flaking comes off. The same as FBF, they can claim to be selling their product, but it is just a spinoff relying on name recognition to make the more expensive sale. That is where demand comes into play. People- ignorant or well informed or just too rich for their own good- want the name brand that is associated with excelence.sorry tony but i also gotta dissagree with you here. if somebody bought a casio, put the rolex name on it, and charged you more than the cost of a casio, would you buy it? i wouldn't. the point is that FBF doesn't actually make anything. they rebadge what other manufacturors make and resell at a mark up. they're riding on their (well-deserved) reputation from their racing heritage.
