There is just no way...
... to cure your Farkle disease. You can only manage it by buying a little at a time. Kinda like taking vitamins... daily! And, it is just plain fun to personalize that RT. The only thing limiting me is a fixed income - and it is fixed kinda low as a retiree. I have a whole list of Farkles that I want... and part of the fun is planning and visualizing my Farkle-ized RT!!

I feel your pain
Most of us have this issue .Fixed income cures it for sure.

words of wisdom..Farkle within reason to your pocketbook.

There actually ARE two known cures for Farkleosis:
1. Bankruptcy
2. Death at the hands of an enraged Spouse
If it gets to this point:

This means that you've reached the end stages of the condition!

Farkles
Photographers have a similar problem, it's called G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). Maybe we should call our affliction F.A.S. !?

Okay.....Share Your Farkle Wisdom:
1. Favorite All Time Farkle
2. Must Have Farkle
3. Biggest Waste of Farkle Funds
Okay--here goes!
1. The trunk lights from Custom Dynamics. Been on all three of my latest RT's. 2010, 2011, and 2014. Pre-ordered and drove off the lot with them installed.
2. A seat to replace the OEM torture machine. Had a Corbin on the 2010 (over 36,000 miles) and BRP Comfort seats (the $600 version) on both the 2011 and 2014. PS. The 2014 is the better iteration.
3. Glo Ryder wheel lights. They did not work for me because it does not get dark during riding season. When it's dark, its to cold compared to the daytime to enjoy the lights. Take a ride in October at 15 above or so and you will know what I mean. The product is good--but just not for us Alaskans.
 
Currently Owned: 2019 F3 Limited, 2020 F3 Limited: SOLD BOTH LIMITEDS in October of 2023.
Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)
MY FINAL TALLY: 7 Spyders, 15 years, 205,500 miles
IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.
