My newest farkle and maybe the last

[Devious56]

Well, it has taken a while, but I think I've run out of things I've wanted to add to my RT, but, I have to say the wheel balancers that Lamonster Garage has look interestin.

I hope this video works:

What is a "Last Farkle"?




I've been told that the process NEVER stops...
(At least not until you run out of money! )

[Devious56]

Well Bob, there are a couple of things I still don't have, a trailer, the wheel balancer I mentioned, but not much really. I think I'd like and F3, but as long as my wife is my riding partner I won't get rid of the RT. For my money, it is the best trike for riding two up. So now all I need to do is put gas in it, (gas isn't a farkle is it?), and ride, ride, ride.....................

This should make both you and your wife happy!

Hi David ... greeting from Switzerland.
very nice. Thanks for sharing.

I have the voltmeter gauge but an analogue clock.
I think that you did set this up in a very nice way and uniform (same kind of gauges).

Now mine are not installed yet and I may consider changing my clock for the one you habe but some question for you ...

I noticed that you have the animation of the gauge when you turn off the key. That means both gauges are permanently connnected to your battery also.

- is this taking a lot of you battery?

I am afraid that if I setup mine like this, not using my Spyder everyday and not connecting a battery tender, this may drain my battery.
any feedback from you on this?

Thanks in advance and thanks for sharing this (but I am convinced that those are NOT your last Farkles).
kind regards,
Bernard

And congrat for your work!

Last farkle? I am also thinking a dubious situation. I have been done for at least two years, but recently found the stick on full size mirrors from TricLed. Two sets on the way for the 11 and the 14. I am thinking these should be the "last" farkles.

I think that dashboard needs some color!

Take a look @ my post's or My Albums you'll see what I mean.
Several other people have painted there dashboards, on this site.

Not on your life! My wife sat on that rear seat and said no way. I sat on that rear seat and would recommend it to anyone. Feels like sitting on a bump. Don't get me wrong, if I was getting a bike for me, it would be an F3, but I'm talking about accessories, not a new trike.

Glad to see you every once in a while, missed your posts. I remember when you did your dash, and thought it was really nice. Since my RT is black, I think I'll leave the dash black.

Hey BernardD, good point, and yes the animation calls for a constant 12 volt source, but the clock would require a constant voltage source anyway in order to keep constant time. I don't think that actually draws down the battery much, but I don't leave my RT sitting around idle too much, I ride a good bit most of the time, and , when I'm not riding, the Battery Tender is connected. But, I did buy one of those jump boxes that Lamonster Garage sells and can not jump start the Spyder if needed.

Hi I have the same voltage guage but have never seen that clock! Where did you get it? I would like to replace the one I currently have with one like yours!

David, I still post/and start threads on this site. Just look @ my posts Count #'s. It seams like yesterday when I posted pictures my painted dashboard. To each his own, about the dashboard.


I have 17,000+ miles on my 2014RTS-SE6. It only took 3 years to get to my current mileage. I have put on a lot of farkles, 2 new front tires, ( last year) 1 rear tire( General Altimax RT43, which I have a lot of thread left. )Deanna

Are these gauges plug'n'play? What are the part numbers for the ones you installed, please?
Great job.

Joe, post #13 has the info for the clock, the voltmeter is PSVOLCD-NEW. The gauges come from prosportgauges.com

Hey Bob....wasn't I the one who told you, "When Pigs Fly?" (Love the new avatar, by the way!!!)

are these plug n play? If not are the directions any good?

Yes; you were...

[Devious56]

Pretty much, you need a constant 12 volt, and a switched 12 volt, plus a ground, for each guage.

Thank you.

[Devious56]

Thank you.

My pleasure.
