    Default How did that happen?

    I bought my 2014 RT std for $13,500 on 7/27/17. I just totaled up all of my receipts and I am at $18,350. Those farkles are expensive.

    Factory fog lights, Corbin seat w/passenger arm rests, Web floorboards, Belt Guard, Short antenna, Garmin Nuvi holder, handlebar mounts for iPhone and cup holder, passenger cup holder, belt tensioner, spring stiffeners, BajaRon swaybar, LED headlights and fog lights, trunk light, SENA SM10.

    I think she is set up for now. Maybe get more rear LED lighting at the Spyder Quest rally in NY next month.

    You probably can guess that I like this machine.

    and on your purchase. We can see you have been bitten by "farkelitis," a common thing that happens for those who have dived into the party.

    There is good news and bad news when it comes to farkles.

    Good news: They make the yours. Its your personal statement and you get to bathe in the "cool factor" as well as being a rock star.

    Bad news: They don't hold their value when it comes to resale--most don't like to pay "extra" when it comes time for resale. Hang on to your for a few years--and it wont matter though.

    You probably can't guess, but I like this machine.
