Single Best Farkle Ever - what have you added that you rate as #1?

[Jimstan]

For my 2007 its the PCIII

I installed a PC III in my 2007 FJR last week and it now runs like it should before the EPA and the Clean Air act.

Smooth, strong ---

Abrupt throttle GONE

Vibration at 3500rpm GONE

Gas mileage 44mpg avg

Wallet LIGHTER

Life is good, time to ride.

2003 motor in my 2004. Hands down, best farkle EVAH!

I call bullsh1t on this. An engine is a series of farkles flying in tight formation... not a single farkle.

Unless you're talking meta physically, then I might be able to see your point...

I mean, who hasn't thought of bolting a piston to the frame as a slider? I ask you, how cool would that be?!

I refuse to answer on the bases it may incriminate me. I might be a little bias.

Anyway, not that I have a lot of farkles but:

Safety: PCIII ( I got tired of stalling in the middle of intersections without one, hasn't happened since it was installed )

Garmin 660 so far is the favorite. I don't get lost anymore and I also get to listen to my tunes. LIFE IS GOOD!

#1 Rick Mayer seat

#2 GPSuspension front and rear

#3/4/5/6 (of roughly equal importance) Throttlemeister/Rifle Jumbo/Helibar risers/Rifle tuning block

 

[BobOdenweller]

It is close, but if I had to decide, it would not be one of these farkles:

-Russell seat

-Centech fuse panel

-Highway blaster horns

-HID lights

-MC Cruise

-Hot Grips

-Starcom1

-Garmin 660

-Cee Bailey's shield

-Hyperlites

-Heli Triple Tree

-Powerlet outlets

-Wynpro kickstand pad enlarger

-Yamaha top box

- G2 Throttle tube

- Manic Salamander bar ends

- Black reflective decals on side cases

Nope, it wouldn't be any of those. But I certainly would miss any one of them.

My number one farkle is:

My Power Commander 5. Bike is so much smoother now. For me, it is easier to accelerate out of the slow speed turns (lots of those by me). Less jerky. I was seriously considering selling this bike before I got the PC5. Not anymore.

Next up I have the Clearwater LEDs on order.

Number 1 has to be the Crampbuster... followed closely by 1a: Throttlemeister and 1b: G2 throttle cam. The Crambuster is by far the best six bucks I ever spent on a motorcycle accessory

#2 would be the Corbin saddle... some folks hate 'em, but I'm very happy with mine.

after that it's a wash ... Autocom, GPS, Cal-Sci screen, Wild Bill pegs, outlets for heated gear, etc, etc, etc...

and none of the electrical stuff would work at all without the Blue Sea aux fuse panel.

Not a farkle, but Ashe's suspension adjustments have made the most difference of any change to my bike. If you haven't considered, see this. clicky --I liked it before, but these changes result in dramatic handling/cornering improvements.

A close second is cruise control--all day comfort on long stretches.

Third is a AHAMAY touring screen with spacers. Works well for me.

Bang for the buck - $10 Crampbuster

Zumo 550 bluetoothed to IPhone and in helmet headset

So, which brand bluetooth headset are you using? Does it allow you to talk on your Iphone?

I have two helmets with diff bluetooth headsets...

1) mono, cheapest Scala Rider

2) Motorola HS830 headset - mono as well

above are a speaker in the left ear

I also have a wireless alarm speaker from the Adaptiv GPS in the right ear

I prob like the Scala Rider a bit more as it's speaker is wafer thin...the motorola is substantially thicker

Yes, I can answer and make calls through the IPhone

The GPS also talks it's directions through the headset, as well

Some get a sterio headset (Scala Rider makes other flavors...FM radio, two speakers, passenger intercom, bike to bike) and play tunes off a SD card from the Zumo...also there's XM with or without traffic reports

I just play a MP3 through the J&M to J&M speaker headsets

yes, yes, my helmet contains four total speakers

I mean, who hasn't thought of bolting a piston stebel air horn to the frame as a slider? I ask you, how cool would that be?!

#1- Zumo 550

#2- Russell seat

 

[TestPilot]

Wilbers Suspension - rear shock and front springs - but this was on the first model with very soft suspension (Superbrace worked well with this too).

Carbon Fibre Tank Protector - I add this to my 2 new bikes the week I took delivery. Still looks as good today as when I put it on 8 years ago (Geelong Carbon Craft)

Givi Top Box - plenty of use.

 

[xharleyrider]

My decals on the bags...makes it look faster.... :bb:

I guess I would have to say my corbin seat and a close first is the cruise!

 

[Pepperell]

Releasing the throttle spring isn't a Farkle. It's correcting a factory mistake.

A tie; AVCC and Day-Long.

Have only 3 hours on the Day-Long so far; It will probably move into sole possession of first place as the miles and hours collect.

The best farkle for me has been the FJR.

The best farkle for the FJR-

If it was new and I could only do 1 thing

Vista-Cruise

Gerbings...on any bike..added months to the riding season. Coldest I've ever been is on a bike..

Duke says his best farkel is the windshield I made him!
