    Default Favorite farkle?

    What is your favorite accessory you’ve added? Just judging from signatures, the Baha Ron swaybar seems to be the most frequently listed.

    Most bang for for the buck?

    On your wish list?

    I also think the #1 farkle is the tri-axis handlebars. Not only that, I think the #1 person is......wait for it.......Fred Farkle and all the little Farkle’s.

    I guess that it's a really close tie between:

    BajaRon Anti-SwaBar
    Doc Humphreys' belt tensioner
    It also has Doc's saddlebag hinge supports
    Baker-Built Highway bars
    A Pete Ameno custom "1330 Triple" vinyl graphic
    Spyder Sisters parking lot seat cover
    Lamonster Garage Chevron highway pegs
    SpyderPops lighted Bumpskid
    A pair of LidLox helmet locks
    JT's Deash accessory bracket
    BRP adjustable driver's backrest
    BRP Passenger Armrests
    BRP travel cover
    BRP full cover
    BRP rolling front luggage
    BRP hard and soft saddlebag luggage
    It has an LED light in the top trunk, so that you can find what you're digging around for.
    and the stuff from TricLEDs:
    Front fender lights
    rear marker lights
    LED headlight and foglight bulbs
    3rd and 4th brakelights
    running, brakelights and turnsignal lights mounted in the saddlebag hinge opening
    Wide angle center-mounted mirror

    I am thinking about going that route but it looks like a lot of work. How does your seat look now, the same before you started or did it turn out to be a little wrinkly.

    Default Always in my Signature block

    My Favorites are listed in my signature block, though as others have said,


    I have too many other farkles to display there..

    But if I had to do it all over again, I started with the Tric-Led Ultimate Safety Bundle plus and I'd do that again. Another local here calls my bike Vegas due to all the extra lighting. He hasn't been to a Spyder rally yet and seen lit Bumpskids, and all the other lights available that I don't have....
    And I just ordered BajaRon's Spring adjusters!

    I have quite a few farkle add-ons but the one I couldn't leave city limits without is my backrest.

    Actually I like my little Farkle shelf which is better known as the RT Dash mount bracket.

    What I started out with (left) and the way it is now with Waylens Secure360 in the middle.

    I got a gel pad from Dave, after it got here and I was checking it all out I found that my staple gun would not shoot into the seat base. So I just took it into a shop and had it installed, was cheaper than buying a new stapler to do the job.

    Indeed the swaybar was probably the best thing ever and the belt tensioner is a close 2nd. It was worth every penny.

    Wish list? I want a modification to my new Comfort Seat so that I can get to the fuel tank without lifting the seat.

    If I had to say ONE farkle, it would be the sway bar. It made the most difference to riding the bike. But, appearnce wise, it would be a toss up between the larson scanner i made for the bike and Sue Hopper's lite-up for the frunk.

    I also have to many favorite farkles list.



    I do like the LED'S ( on fenders, side markers, on trunk) running/ turning( back of trunk), for safety. I like to be visible to on-coming traffic/ and vehicles behind me.

    Default Tri-Axis bars

    Tri-Axis Bars are #1 as without them I would be miserable riding my RT. With them I love the ride. #2 is probably my Ultimate Seat and Backrest. Everything else of the over $8K I've spent on accessories (I added it up just the other day and was amazed at what I'd spent. I never intended to spend this much) is a nice to have.
