Yep, if we're talking exclusively about BMW parts -- sensors -- and BMW TFT programming with their factory-setting devices, I don't see why they wouldn't be interested in earning some shop fees. It MAY be a case in which the various shops don't know about this capability, just as some BMW dealerships don't seem to know that they have the capability of setting idle RPMs (you know what I'm talking about, that thread on adjusting the idle after software upgrades, right?). If so, this may be a case that someone just has to clue them in.
Regarding the Malossi type of upgrades, that's a different matter. Sure, they could get some money from shop work, but this would be a case in which they're going against the BMW engineers and factory products. So that would mess with the factory warranty, e.g., potentially affecting engine longevity and all sorts of other potential issues. So I could see why they wouldn't want to get into that realm of upgrades (perhaps unless a bike was past its warranty period).
I agree with Bill P. It should not be that difficulult for BMW to have added cruise control and TPMS. I never had either one until my last bike and while I did not use them a lot they were very nice features. Once you have had them you miss them. My challenger also had an electronic wihdshield. When I purchased it I thought it was a gimick. You set it and forget it. But I really loved that thing and used it all the time. When on the highway I always had it up all the way. But if it was hot riding in town I would lower it and let the air hit me in the face. None of these were deal breakers for me but would be really nice to have.
Hi Im really interested in the Chigee for my C400GT but worried about the process of wiring It in. is it complicated and do you remember the steps.. how to get the canbus in etc.
