NaturalFlavored Farkles

Bought it beginning of June. Had to clean it up, normal maintenance tires, oil, filters etc.
Started to do farkles to make it "mine" and unique ish.
First couple pictures is of how it looked when purchased:



I changed out the grips first, the grips that were on there were all torn up because previous owner towed it down here with the straps on the grips which ripped them up.


Second farkle was the front turn signals (first to come in the mail)


Then it was the levers



Pegs were third


Just did the rear signals, smaller than I thought they would be so I'm going to add turn signals into the empty brake sockets so I'll have two rear signals





More pics to come, just starting my endeavor with this. It's been a month and I have more ideas that I'm wanting to do.

Yeah they do! Loving the yellow look. Always wanted a yellow car but I'll settle for a yellow bike haha.

Little hint, hard saddlebags are next on my list.

Cool. I've found a 10 liter Kriega pack does just fine for what I need when I go out. I like these packs because I can switch from the 10L to the 30L with 4 hooks. They use the same attachment anchors.

Those little hide-away hooks are great, aren't they?

I might get rid of them if I get my saddlebags to fit properly.

I don't use the hide-away hooks, but I bless the engineer/designer who put them in. Too many times you have nowhere to hook things!!!!

Which grips? The yellow and black ones? Or the all black. I'm sure I've seen red and black when I was looking for new grips.

New bright headlight installed today. 55w super bright white.

Also pegs were bought on Amazon for $19 or so, like I said I had to rig it to fit properly.

Obviously you make your own decisions, but I believe that a phone belongs out of sight while riding, even if it's being used for navigation. I might go as far as having a Bluetooth earpiece to get voice directions from my phone, but I believe stopping to use electronics is the only safe way to use them.

I once spent some time in a hospital because I looked in a mirror at the wrong time, so I'm sensitive about not watching what's ahead of me.

I agree, I wear gloves so I can't even use it while riding. It's more for if an emergency happens and someone tries to get a hold of me I can pull over and a second speedometer, I like to make sure mine is working correctly and if not I have a backup.

Thanks. I have to take the speedometer off to remove the red film on it. That's why my lights aren't that bright, I just wanted to make sure the lights work, it's monsoon season here so I don't want to ride in this flooding season so I have more time to work on it.

You're right, they're good for that. I've been using a wristwatch GPS receiver to check my speedometers, but a bar mounted smart phone is better. Not you have me thinking of doing that.

Thanks. I've been working a lot on this.
Have ideas, but also have road blocks that make me have to do some custom work.

Just got the clutch perch in today. Thought I was going to have to repaint it but either the seller already did or it was on a bike that was taken care of because I don't see any scratches.
New levers coming in too. Stuck with oem 500 levers, I think they look better.
