I have run out of things to change on my bike and I am wondering what to do now? There are no good replacements to the FJR yet? What the hell do you long times do once you are done farkling your bikes?

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

 
I'd suggest unfarkling it a bit at a time. You need to ask yourself whether the farkles really, really, improved the bike. Was the original design really flawed? Put it back the way it was. If the farkle was right all along, put it back on.

Repeat.

Repeat.

I'm sorry to hear this! I have few farkles and even fewer complaints about my 08. I love this bike and although it seems there are endless "things" one can do to make it different, it doesn't really need it! I agree with others - JUST RIDE! :yahoo:

 
Jebus! You can't be serious!?! And no one has answered this correctly yet. :rolleyes:

You buy another bike and begin farkling it. It takes a while to have a whole stable that is farkled to the point of perfection on each. Sport tourer, sport bike, dual sport, adventure bike . . .

Hi, my name is Mike and I'm a Farkleholic...I've come to Farkle Anonymous at the gentle prodding of my family and friends

I will attend all monthly meetings here at Farkles Anonymous

I will daily ask my higher power for help with my addiction

I will no longer visit dealerships, ebay, or internet stores

I will cancel my motorcycle magazines, journals, and my AMA membership

If tempted, I will call my sponsor RadioHowie for help and advice

======================================================

Important to me for comfort is a Sargent Seat, Airhawk Air Pad, Wild Bill Highway Pegs, Cal Sci Windshield, and for safety/paint protection, a tank protector & R&G Sliders. There are grip puppies and throttlemeister and a Superbrace. To help power the electricals, the bike has a Eastern Beaver fuse block.

I think I see a digital voltmeter in the first picture, have you run into an overload problems? Do you have to keep the rpm's above a certain point?

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
