porthole i completly agree, but most of my stage 1 customers don't want a copy so i save it in a file under there name.
I figure there are three types of customers
1. They only thing they want to know about their bike is to whom the check gets made out to.
2. The person that tinkers with his bike, adds some things here and there and does his own oil changes and such
3. The person that does just about everything to his bike.
Customers 2 & 3 would probably want their copy of the map. And I believe, that it is not proprietary to the tuner, if the customer pays for that service.
I inquired about just that with a tuner in Long Island. When asked if I would receive a copy of what was done the person looked at me as if I asked to read his will. Told me he didn't know if that was possible.
Now up until then he talked a good game although his attitude was a little out there. But to give me that line about the copy means either he is all smoke and mirrors or figures the whole world is just ignorant.
