What's the best/biggest place in the DFW area for farkles?

Kurgan · June 2nd, 2015, 11:28 AM

I dislike ordering online, I like walking into a store, picking something up off the shelf, and paying cash for it. If I have to custom order something, so be it, but I expect the order to be filled correctly and promptly.

Basically I'm looking for a place that's NOT CycleGear. I will never go back there again if I don't have to. I'm tired of trying to get CycleGear to order things, it takes more than a month to get anything to come in, and it's usually the wrong thing.

I'm really looking for these turn signals...

I don't see a way to order them even though I hate doing that.

2wheelscustom.com used to have them but now that website comes up as a blank page for me.

The Rumble Concept Joker signals are similar, but not the same, and definitely cheaper and crappier looking.

By the way, why are they called Farkles? Who came up with that name and why?

Go to Revzilla, never had an issue and get things fast. Got LED turn signals from them from Oxford and they are just awesome.

Edit: Plus they are opening a store in Las Vegas, think that's a little closer but takes less then a week for shipment.

Revzilla is in Philly. It'll be a long ride from DFW.

I know that. Just an option. Sounds like he hates cyclegear cause it takes a month to deliver. It's another option. Like added, they are opening another one in Las Vegas.

Side topic are they actually opening a store in Vegas, or just the already existing warehouse? I love stuff from Revzilla that comes to me from Vegas. Uber quick!

Farkle:

accessory.

The word is generally accepted to mean a combination of "function" and "sparkle", hence, farkle.

Motorcycle enthusiasts may install accessories, called farkles (also spelled farkel), to customize their machine.

One source attributes the term to Pete Wells, the organizer of a 1997 Honda ST1100 rally
http://www.nabble.com/Re:-Farkel-or-...-p2354383.html

The term is well known in the sport touring community.

An enthusiast may be in the process of "farkling". The completed motorcycle would be all "farkled up". Radar detectors, Global Positioning System receivers, heated grips, and satellite radios are some of those farkles. Other accessories could be aftermarket seats, side and/or top cases or bar risers, which make the motorcycle more suitable for long miles.

Prob just warehouse, but I would imagine they would setup similar to Philly.

We own and operate two distribution centers, one in Las Vegas and one in Philadelphia.

Anybody been to MotoLiberty or Bates #2 just outside of Dallas yet?

I'll even take recommendations for Harley Davidson shops, sometimes they carry stuff that's universal, at the very least some of them are large showrooms with a good stock of instore items.
