Re: She's here!!

Congratulations!
I also picked up my (new to me) '08 R1200R at the end of October and brought it home to Northern NY.
I did get to put about 300 miles on it before the snow.
I go out and look at it in the garage, and have been accessorizing like a fool...
Think Spring!!!

Re: EFI Mods

I just purchased a booster plug but did not install it yet.
Anybody have enough first hand knowledge of both devices to offer an opinion on whether I should return the much more expensive unit and order the other?
