    I'd love to come to your farkle party but Mississippi is just to far away from Michigan.

    This is what my brand-new 2015 look like with just 99 miles on it.

    A road trip would be fun though, I'm looking for someplace to go.

    Hate to say this but... That seat looks like the most uncomfortable seat I have ever seen on ANY RT. Although I do imagine it runs cool with those mods you've done.

    I had to tear down that far. I installed the CB radio and entertainment harness from my 2012 RTL. I only wanted to do one major teardown so I added all the LED safety package and light bar from Tricled, trailer hitch and harness, Portable XM radio also hooked up my iPhone 6 for GPS added a 12v power port in the speaker grill. It took me 3 days

    Now THAT's the way to add farkles. I knew you must have been doing something like that. That project would have taken me a lot more than three days.

    Um, if I show up (no small feat, coming from Oregon), can we put all of the farkles on my spyder?

    Sounds like a fun time, but alias, I'll not be there.

    Farkle: Noun. Functional sparkle. Motorcycle riders catch a disease called Farkle Fever where they cannot help but spend money and time on a steady and ever growing list of improvements to their bikes. Normally these are expensive and sometimes they are even useful.

    Farkling is a verb describing the act of adding farkles I have some serious farkling to do.
    Farkled is an adjective (I think?!) describing a bike that has had farkles added, or and adverb describing the act of of farkling My wife and I farkled all Saturday afternoon. Now my bike is thoroughly farkled.

    Thanks for your response. It is starting to make sense now. Seems that I, too, have caught the disease.
