But, you guys think the cradle relo is the right move, or no?

A month ago I would have said get the Moto Mate first thing.
Now I think it's best to live with the bike for awhile, then decide.
I've ridden my bike about 900 miles and a couple hundred on Deb's and not sure if I need the Moto Mate.
The R1200RS dash was not easy to read so I used the GPS as my dash.
The GPS was too low to use to use on a regular basis

The TFT on the R1200RS is easy to read and in a good location and now I don't need to look at the GPS very often.

I'm going to wait until next spring to see if I really need to raise my GPS.
Even with the sound shut off on my GPS it's rare I miss a turn because I also use paper maps in my tank bag window.
It also helps that most of the time I don't have a route in the GPS Smile

Good points all, and much to think about! I'm probably just old (and old-school) enough to believe I'd really enjoy the process of figuring out a route with maps and notes and tank bag windows.

I'll watch the video provided above and sleep on this one a while. I've got some time to figure it out.

Thanks for your thoughts and observations.
