Patriot sounds like my kinda guy! :)

And when I switched from the ST1300 to the new FJR I downsized a little on the farkles. We give out an award for the most farkled bike each year at WeSTOC. I've won a couple of times. What can I say, this is my 16th year of riding LD. Things have kind of accumulated.....

 
Patriot's dash, early edition. Note the stacked bar risers.

Patriot's Stebel horn install.

Another dash of fame, or is that an infamous dash?

I'm with Gapiob - what the heck is all of that stuff?

I recognize the phone cradle, GPS, and the Spot tracking device, but can you tell us what the rest is?

 
HAM Radio control head on the left handlebar. The radio itself is under the passenger seat. Red button on the left grip is the 'push to talk'. Left of the Spot is a TPMS system. Right of the Spot is the Valentine One remote display. The V1 itself is in the water proof 'Legal Speeding' black box with the volume control/Audio out control on top.

2 meter/440 antenna mounted off of the Givi SR357.

New Levers - the Chinese ones - Fit great

Grip thingies to make the grips fatter

Cleaned and lubed some stuff here and there - nice warm garage, shitty snow outside :(

Need to move the FJR off the lift so the Wee-Strom can go on for some Farkling and re-farkling to cure some of the previous owner's mistakes.

Way too much crapolla hooked direct to the battery :(

I need to connect my newly procured RD and GPS leads to the Wee-Strom factory switched Accessory Power Lead,

and connect the previous Owner installed Grip Heaters to the Wee-Strom factory switched power Grip Heater lead instead of direct to the Battery, Some peoples kids?

 
^^^^^ Chuckle, chuckle, chuckle, and a big PLUS ONE.

All that stuff changes your horsepower-to-weight ratio. You'll end up like a Grom.

OT, but as I understand it, RX8=big grins.

I have a buddy who's a cycling official. His dash (Super10) is along this vein. No HAM radio... Three stopwatches, if that counts.

 
Used the Morgan Carbtune today for this spring's TBS. Nice tool, better than the other version. Even nicer was having the PAIR block off plates from Dave. It made the sync go so much better. Thanks Dave

I took an icepick and punched a couple of holes in the side of the tin cup that sits inside the gas tank. Now maybe I can get more than 5.8 gallons in it.

I also got a flat yesterday and had to plug the tire and replace the valve stem.

So, your in FL and now you can overfill your tank and not leave any room for expansion. Good idea!
