What do you do when you are done farkling?

Perhaps the addition of items listed on 4-71 and 4-72 of the manual as "grip" and "throttle grip" would be useful.

I'll try and look around for some part numbers.

Yep I just started modding my wifes 2010 Mustang GT. Carbon Fiber Intake-check, Magnaflow catback with x-pipe-check, Tein suspension with EDFC check, Whipple? Undecided, and it still won't come close to that Fairlaner in Fairlaner's avatar.

Your right Tyler but it just feels wierd not having anything to bitch about or work on?

Buy a Harley

Not sure if that is fair I know both sides and my Harley "not a long distance bike by no means" Is reliable for an antiquated heap of chrome. I know ill prolly get bashed for it but Harley Davidson Cycles have really great feature built into them being notoriously unreliable they have a parts store every 15 to 20 miles away and since they are basicly all the same, parts from one fit all of them or can be easily modified to fit with a roll of duct tape. Try that with an FJR! When the FJR eventually does break many many many miles later than the Harley. Parts are much harder to get and only fjr parts fit. 1 more point Harley's are so simple roadside repairs are a simple matter of just change the part that almost fell off! fjrs require a rocket scientist and a detailed shop manual!

I just had to interject my little blot of humor dry as it may be ha ha ha

? I do most of my own work on the FJR, which actually is not hard to work on. Many others here do also. In fact, many procedures are far easier than working on Harleys I've owned in the past. The major difference is, I work on the bike to farkle, not to keep it running-the largest difference between the FJR and HDs.

>I will add that I am no mechanic or mechanically inclined.

I'm amazed no one else mentioned this .... take riding instruction and track days. while not technically a farkle it is money spent that will increase your enjoyment and safety while riding your bike which is what farkles are all about. even better, unlike most farkles it moves on with you when you get a new (or another) bike.

the advanced rider instruction classes (and 2 track days) I did last year were the most fun I've had on a motorcycle since my 1st cross country trip in 1976.

[Meltdown]

Sorry...what is this "done" of which you speak?

Farkle addiction is easily replaced by monkey spanking.

Cat scratches interfere with that, though, don't they?
