What do you do when you are done farkling?

[Carmine]

sorry bout the off topic blathering FARKLES

FUEL CELL... Might I recommend a tail dragger mount the fuel pump low on the side of the tank with a passive check valve the electronic one suck

Could go to the DARKSIDE depending on how far you travel and your style of riding

RADAR JAMBING DEVICES ARE NICE :yahoo:

DASH SHELVES if you dont already have one

POWER COMMANDER..... a must have for taming that low end hurky jerky throttle curve some body on here programmed mine its awesome

big huge foot so the kick stand doesn't sink into the loose sand

or you could add an electric motor cycle cruise control awesome gadget

See just when you think you have it all theres always more your never done farkling

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?Ron

every Feej should have a voltmeter...every bike should have a voltmeter

now to answer your questions:

nope and nope

and my Gen I has a lesser stator output than your Gen II

You could get HOWIED or BEEMED and be busy for at least 6 months.

Sorry! but you asked.

Damn, I've been to New Orleans in July; But I never saw 830 degrees F! :blink:

I hope you have an AC farkle, or some asbestos underwear!

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?

You can come out east and install a cruise control on my bike.

My mods are simple and I like to mod a bike for comfort, safety and communication. I rarely if ever mod a bike for more performance and at some point the things like loud pipes can end up interfering with your 2-way communication. In some cases things like suspension are more about safety when I ride 2-up with all of my gear over a performance mod but at the end of the day if sure does make cornering much more fun. I would not have really done many mods to the bike if I was going to ride it one up most of the time but I wanted to make it a nice place for my wife on our longer rides. We have a 16 day ride coming up at the end of May and early June so it nice to finally have everything the way I want it. If I didn't have the FJR I would likely be on a big GS. Having said that I never get tired of this bike when I am on the road. Not the sexiest, or the fastest but it fits me like a glove now.

Generator?

Nah.

Bloom Box. Mike did their field testing for 'em.

You forgot one thing, you can change the air in the tires..old air is not good, 1x a week should keep it fresh.

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

I like this idea the best...now I just need to win the lottery!

It is impossible to finish farkling. The Oxford-English dictionary defines farkling as the endless process of adding decreasingly useful stuff to what was a perfectly good motorcycle to begin with. It further defines farkling as an addiction, treatable only through regular attendance at FA (Farklers Anonymous) meetings or by a swift ride down curvy roads.

See, it's like the "honey-do" list. As in "I'll go for a ride when I finish the honey-do list." The honey-do list is also endless and approaching the end of it only causes more items to be added. Like farkling.

So just say "screw it!" Then go ride.

on the way to a PGR mission, our group led by one of the state leadership pulled into a Shell Station. My radar detector decided to keep beeping because of the X band burglar alarm. As I come out of the store, John says my bike might explode as it's beeping it's heart out. I said, "well no, not explode, but might melt down. That's the alarm to remind me to turn on the cooling system for the reactor core!"

feels like that on the slab sometimes, but, of course, it reads 83.0, Stevie Wonder... :yahoo:

 

[FJRBluesman]

Trent - Buy a newer one and start over. :yahoo:

 

[Lowcountry Joe]

"What do you do when you are done farkling?"

I usually just wipe it dry and go get a beer.

Patriot needs to add a trailer so he can mount the satellite tv antenna. With that he would have a reason to mount the 63" widescreen and blue ray player.

Any of the following:

Be more creative and find more farkles.

Sell the bike at a huge loss and get a new one (those HD's are popular!).

Buy a Jeep... That will be a never-ending money pit.

I am content with my FJR, and glad it is set up perfect for me. I dont feel any wants or needs to change it. Just ride it!
