Last few days riding, I'm comfortably wearing thinner gloves as there's dead air for hands and wrists

Looks pretty nice! Also looks like you could add blinker lights and maybe even some lesser-importance gauges beind them!

You bring function over form to new lows Mike.

I think you now have the top THREE nominations for ugliest farkles of the year.

Next you'll be putting a porta potty on the pillion seat!

Wait, I don't want to give you any ideas... forget that.

If we buy a USA FJR...I'm not so sure about having it tucked up in Mike's garage.....I'm getting worried.

I was going to suggest that too, except for the fact that garauld doesn't deserve to be associated with the the end users taste (or lack thereof)

1.) Mike subscribes to the adage that if "one is good, two will be better".

Like the custom car builders of the '50s, add more lights, fins, scoops, whatever...

2.) Mike is trying to fill the emotional void left after the Saints loss last night.

Working on the bike is obviously therapy for him.

3.) Mike is a "Trekkie" and likes to "go where no man has gone before".

BTW, I do like Garauld's extensions on my hand guards. I have risers on my Gen I thus no issues with gas tank clearance. I've been commuting in temps of low 40s and high 30s with no frozen fingertips.

You joke, but somewhere I saw a pic of a perma-mount heated grip toggle switch and commo PTT switch mounted to the edges of those.

Kind of a neat idea to have switches literally at your fingertips.

Did you happen to check the aerodynamics of that farkle? I'm pretty sure if you get the bike past 80 mph, the lift would take you airborne. BTW, can you take a picture and post it of where the cappucino machine is located and how you get power to it?
