Pardon the dumb questions, but
Are the flashes customized or do they have a set profile for CB1100's?
Beside removing the top speed limit, what are the other benefits?
If the exhaust has been modified, is that taken into account?
How much does Guhl Motors charge?

No one has brought Don a stock or modified CB yet. The flash will take away the speed limiter, lower gear timing retard. I had the stock PC5 map flashed into mine and I'm running a full Yoshi and it runs great with no flat spots. Ridem32 had his flashed with just the restrictions removed. The cost is 375.00

Honda could have easily tuned the engine for 100+ hp. I understand their reasoning for keeping things mellow and emphasizing excellent torque that starts at the low end.

Don says an ECU reflash will unleash the inherent power in the engine. What exactly did Honda do to tame the beast (besides the speed limiter)? Did they retard or delay timing in just the lower gears? Didn't they want to emulate some of the engine vibrations of the old CB750s to give it some "character"? How did they do that? Timing?

I don't think this bike will ever see 100HP at the rear wheel, the cam profile won't allow that kind of power. There is power to be found in the ignition timing and a\f ratio but there is not much on top do to the cam. I believe the cam is also where the added a roughness to the engine as you mentioned.

I questioned Don about the lower gear restriction and why it did not improve 100% throttle input. He said it more in the 20-40% range, however the Yoshi full exhaust did open the bike up to some larger gains.
