Well, I guess I can let the cat out of the bag now. A couple of weekends ago, while on a mountain lunch ride, a technician from Bazzaz (out for a ride on his ZX-6) saw my CB1100 and asked if they could borrow my bike as a test mule, to create a new fuel controller for the model. He quoted me a price I couldn't refuse.
The same guy picked-up my bike Thursday, and I told him that one thing I'm hoping is to enrich the low-, and mid-range fueling, to stop the bronzing that's occurring to my headers and pipe. Of course, any boost in power won't be a bad thing either.
They have a picture of their new high-tech dyno on the website, and he assured me they'll optimize the fueling as good as it can get. He told me I'll get a print-out of the dyno results to show before and after numbers. He anticipates a 4-8% power improvement.
I should have my bike back in a couple of weeks, and no telling how long afterward the controller will be available for purchase.
I'll keep you guys informed.

Thanks Thumper! I still have a little hot rodder left in me and am always interesting in improving performance. From reading your guys impressions the fueling is so good that I dont know if it can be improved much but I look forward to finding out.

Thanks, this might be something I'd get into.
The bike's still down there.
They've told me the bike should be done this week, and they anticipate getting it back to me Friday. I should receive a dyno printout of before-, and after results.

I'm still awaiting my bike's return from Bazzaz, and it looks like I won't get it until next Friday at the earliest (they're waiting on one more of two connectors to arrive). One of my biggest hopes in getting the bike back with a fuel controller installed is for the mixture to become richer at the bottom and midrange, thereby decreasing the burn temperatures (read: stop the bronzing/blueing of the pipes).
I remember my old '82 GS750's headers were always chromed, and never did bronze/blue. I'll keep everyone apprised when I finally get the bike back.
The wait is killing me lol, almost as much as the wait for my staintune slip on.
With the power commander they disconnect the O2 sensor? That won't fly out here.

what's the difference? They are all going to change the stock air/fuel ratios anyway.
Thumper your old GS Suzukis pipes never blued because the japanese used double walled pipes back then.
.. waiting..
