This is all very interesting and I have no doubt that the people handing out the advice know their business.
But remember, all the good advice about needing a PC for the K8 is coming from people who sell PCs.
I have also heard that the K8 ECU is a learning ECU and adapts to the operating environment very well. As you would expect from a product that has had more than 10 years development.
I have just completed a 3 day ride at (subsonic) - almost flat out in some cases - on a dead stock k8. The bike lacks nothing in the power stakes for everyday riding and unless you are going to drag or track ride your bike, I can see no logical reason to spend another 2 grand on making it faster than it can go as a stocky.
I admit that the OEM cans are heavy, but they can be easily replaced without the need for new electrics.
IMO.
