Thats 59 farkles, but I am sure I missed a few.

All of these items have greatly increased the comfort and fun I have riding my spyder. I am looking forward to many many miles on my spyder.

My definition of done is.... crap..... I might add leather braiding to the rider and passenger grips. So maybe one last farkle. I would love to see other's farkle lists. Maybe I can be inspired to do a few more. But for now, I have searched through the products every vendor sells and dont see anything else I want to add.

Wow!! Impressive. I've only begun. This is very cool, but slightly depressing as it shows how much money I have to spend.

[Chupaca]

My understanding is that there is no such thing as a final farkel.... something will come along or upgrade needed but you must be the closest to that elusive goal... must have been fun with lots of satisfaction along the way....

[Bob Denman]

There's always another farkle lurking...
But anyway!

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

NICE , you've done pretty good …… But you've got a ways to go yet to catch up to me ….. I stopped listing them at 70 !!!! ………. Mike

You are never finished with farkles, I have been riding since I was 14 now 77 and I have only begun...
maybe it's time to get a new canvas/new bike and start anew.

What about the trailer hitch and trailer?

[Joel The Biker]

What about the trailer hitch and trailer?

Yup...I have/had those also(added to the list). The ECU flash is not an option for me. I do not let anyone else work on or do repairs to my stuff. I would never trust a shipping company with my ECU either. My spyder runs strong and chirps the rear tire shifting from 1st to 2nd with the stock ECU. Perfectly fine for me. There are several other mods that I did, but are hard to explain in my list.

Mike...I dont know where your hiding 70 farkles. Your Spyder looks stock.

I understand where you are coming from. I also do all my own repairs and do not trust anyone else to touch my bike besides me. I was worried about having the ECU vandalized (so to speak) but know I didn’t have the tools to do it myself. After all the great reviews on this forum & no complaints (besides not having it done sooner) I took the chance and sent mine to Monster in Canada. I preferred that if anyone was going to do it that I would have the original person who designed it do it. Just made me feel a little more comfortable that way. In the end I’m 100% happy with my choice & no regrets. It’s a great mod for the price and the power & fun you’ll have with it will be left in the dust.

Never done a motorcycle. But I've sent ECU's off for flashes before. Never an issue. Last one was my 2013 VW TDI and I'm about to do my 2015 TDI. I'd so a Spyder in a heartbeat if I thought it would help. Very impressive on my TDI.

And of course---- custom billet bar ends and dash rack

[vstrommer]

[AY4B]

I tell my wife that every time I get another one!

[h0gr1der]

You folks are killing me! Too many toys! This is worse than an addiction....

It is an addiction. If I'm not purchasing a farkel for my then I'm modifying something on it or doing maintenance OR cleaning it.

PS: The ECU flash is a great mod.

[Purple Guy]

If I had a dime for everytime I proclaimed "I'm Finished!" my Farkles would be free!!!
Nice list, glad I'm not the only one!!!

[Raprider]

Congrats, Joel!
Some serious time, effort and cash went into all of that farkeling, and I hope you wring out every possible mile of enjoyment you can.
Next you'll have to add the map function to your sig file so you can show us your progress.
But I must ask...what is the definition of done?

[Saluda]

You are good for the economy, enjoy !!

[RICZ]

I now feel unworthy with only 5 additions. But then, I have only owned my F3L since February.

[jbim]

Does gas count as farkle. If it does, I have one!

[BajaRon]

I didn't know there was such a thing as a 'Final Farkle'...

[308gunner]

There is one more farkle..PM me and I'll tell you about it.

[Lew L]

I add Just one more ( well it was in my post script in #12).

You'll be REAL HAPPY with an ECU flash.. REALLY HAPPY.

[Deanna777]

Congrats!

There is no such thing as a "final farkle" the list never stops!
