I was curious as a 444 mile ST newbie, the distribution of Farkles across our little happy group....I was not really concerned with manufacturer, but with the depth of add-on's we do as a group....I'll try to list all the farkles I've seen folks adding but will add an other category too....

Speedo-Healer, intercom system, highway pegs, passenger backrest, radar detector, radiator guard, thermostat, ...just a few additional farkles that come to mind.

Hey Dave (Burger)
Like yer new Avator or is it Avatoir!
Farkles, what the heck:
New Sargent Seat
Heated Grips
Top Box
Honda RDS Radio
Blue Sea fuse box
Powerlet plugs by suspension unit and under rear seat to the top box
Garmin GPS system
Autocom system
Ham radio system
PMR radio system
Optimate battery unit
Snooper speed detector (Now defunct cus GPS does the same)
Scala rider headset
On board video system (expensive!)
UK Advanced Lettering and stickers (A must for advertising :D )
Private number plate (M1UKA) advertising again, saves the tax man having the dosh
Bagster Tank cover (black)
Bagster tank bag
Cant think of anymore at the moment :eek:
I think that is enuff for me, a lot of the equipment was on the bike when I purchased it, so I have not spent a million dollars!
My bike is a tool, it is my mobile office, hence some farkles that some riders would think are inapropriate, are a must for me. I cant afford to miss a telephone call as it may be worth $2,000 to me, hence I now run with a mouthful of microphones LOL. One is the Autocom and the other is the Scala, what the heck, I know what I am doing....... I think :D

Seat and top box tied for 1st place at 64%... could be a photo finish.
I've added a pair of horns and accessory fuseblock. Sitting on a beaded seat cover (?) now - pretty comfy and cooler than black leather these days. Coming soon: Powerlet outlet, voltmeter, and maybe a garage door switch.
Aside from checking off most of the boxes in the poll... also added additional brake and directional indicators on the pans; and a com system. You sure do like polls man... you're either in politics or marketing (one in the same?) is my guess :rolleyes: :D

GRN....man are you insightful.....politically involved, detail oriented engineer.....I hope to one day run for mayor of Lampe, MO where I have a lakehome on Tablerock......it just seems to me polls can capture what get's rehashed over and over on this forum, formally for reuse by future newbies like me.....I had no idea a true Farkle Poll would need 500 check boxes......I think some of our farkle laiden ST's weigh more than most wings.......
Byron
08-04-2006, 10:06 AM
No the farkled bikes don't weigh as much as a wing we use the low cal parts :D.

Added a Stebel airhorn; added an auxiliary fusebox, relay controlled through the ignition; wiring for Corbin heated seat and two sets of heated clothing; wiring for horn, front fog and driving lights, quartet harness; aux switches mounted on the left brake resevoir; added a police style flashing LED light as a brakelight; added two red button LEDs to the rear reflectors for side vis, and added front, side and rear red and blue LEDs for parade use......
Also found a decent tank bag on eBay, mounted the Delphi XM radio, antenna and earphones amp in the map compartment.

Mine were almost all done out of necessity (windshield, headlight bulbs) or the PFO. Except for the one you missed. Cigarette lighter. Called by some a power outlet, I use it for it's intended purpose. :)

Wow,
This thread hurts my feelings and my future pocket!!
I only have the Honda topbox and added mirrors.
Now I see a few extra things I want...... :/
Oh and on my already wanted list Stebel horn was not on the list, or did I miss it.
