    Default BRP Diagnostics for BUDS software and interface?

    Has anyone done business with BRP Diagnostics to purchased BUDS software and the interface/cabling required?

    I have sent them a couple emails to inquire and so far no response.

    We are seriously looking at purchasing the ROLO laser alignment equipment and BUDS interface necessary to do laser alignments in Houston. Starting with Louise new RT of course and then offering it to others in the area. Since there are no laser alignment dealers withing 100 miles of the city.

    Check with rnet; I believe that he was looking into it, but I don't know where he is in the process...

    Thanks for all the PMs and information. I purchased a MPI-3 interface and 1 year all dealer licence from Powersports Diagnostics yesterday. Shows it shipped and I should get it next week. Now on to the laser alignment tools...just waiting for ROLO to call and finalize the deal/payment. Sure wish one of the Houston area dealers had stepped up and done this in house.

    Non-forward looking dealers are still creating opportunities for forward looking entrepreneurs. Wishing you the best with your new enterprise.

    I am a firm believer that the laser alignment is a must for

    The he easy part is out of the way now you need to learn how to use the equipment. If you have any trouble give us a call.

    Will do, thanks. I have done manual alignments for years on sports cars so pretty familiar with the measurements and angles, just really need to learn how to use the tools true laser provides. Have not seen the instructions yet so no idea how complete or not they are.

    No, I purchased an All Dealer licence. Did not need the ability to alter the VIN number in the ECU as I have no plans to replace ECUs in bikes. I could have gone with Spyder dealer only and saved a few bucks but have some friends with CanAm toys that might come in handy. Bought a one year licence. Will decide next year if I need to continue or pick a different access level.

    I got all the instructions and videos from True Laser last night. Read it all, watched the vids and made notes. Went out in the garage and talked my way through the steps and made a work flow spread sheet that does all the calcs. I am ready to give it a go on Louise bike now. Have a handle on the process and look forward to working out the tools etc for the actual job. Alignment tools and BUDS interface should be delivered next week. I am going to HomeDepot to get some 6' metal rulers, masking tape spray paint and perhaps a fractional inch calculator. Going to stripe my garage floor as Mike the inventor suggests for quick setup and placement.

    Around $1,000 for the initial purchase then you have to renew the license every year.
