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.

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.

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!!!

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?

You are good for the economy, enjoy !!

I now feel unworthy with only 5 additions. But then, I have only owned my F3L since February.
Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.

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

Only SLOW people have to leave on time...

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.

Joel, wait to get out on the twisty upstate roads. How does the bike feel now?

I would like some details about your HP Dash-cam, please. I'm looking for a front/rear system right now.
