The 1150 is a little older with the ECU though so from what I'm understanding alot were done by changing the chip. it's more a case of me being unfamiliar with the 1150 platform once I'm up to speed on it all should be good. There was a point where I couldn't rebuild a Norton engine now I have a great understanding after working on the Commando and rebuilding the engine in my bedroom.
Been interesting learning about the Motronic ECU, it's a shame there's not much more info on the whole hilltop process regarding what they did back then flash wise on the 1150 era mine was done in 2010. Been looking at the John Gemini chips as well.
Shall be interesting to see how it runs next week when I'm able to get out again, going to do it the old school way and look at the plugs an a few plug chops after the ECU has had a chance to re adapt (just trying to learn about the Motronics capability regarding that).
Actually been looking at a Dyno company out near Stoke on Trent ran by a couple of TT lads. To get some pulls done and check the AF etc is all ok.
The other option is to stick a stock ECU on job done but I enjoy this process.
Half the reason I went for an 1150 is because it allows you to work on it yourself.
This was hammered home yesterday when I wanted to buy a few service tools for the FD and they wouldn't sell them to a consumer which seemed daft. Buy the parts buy the manual but not the tools
It's always interesting reading and learning I came across something last night where an independent FD Specialist said on the 1200/1250 that you can't buy the FD bearings only the FD unit at £1500 quid ouch! That's the thing that bothered me with another watercooled more and more the tech on the bikes is getting more expensive and harder to work on.
Having had the Nortons you could always buy the service tools and manuals, even now an the owners handbook would tell you a hell of alot more than modern day ones even how to do the valves etc.
Good thing is there's a few methods for checking the preload on the FD Crown wheel and checking the taper to very much in research mode at the moment for the next few weeks as I get familiar with the platform.
I agree with Johnny though that's how I like my bikes, stock but with better suspension loving the GS Ohlins as I can get my feet down the big thing with this one was it being factory none abs everything else I can chip away at and deal with.
I was saying to dad I'm glad I've gone back to an older platform not tied into the dealers and more choice parts wise if and when the Gen stuff starts to become NLA.
Actually wouldn't say no to a R80G/S at a later day as well dependant on what space we have after the house move, more I'm reading up the more I like or an R100GS from 89'
that was my first port off call, he said he couldn't go into the ins and outs of what was done to the individual bikes just that it was a very special program on the eprom, from what I've read up that's the Motronic's memory chip 
all about the team work. 
so need to run that down a bit haha 
before I lift the tank off it's gone surprisingly more fuel efficient with the stock exhaust.
