Last farkle on my 2013 for a while...maybe
I said farkle because I've been on ADVrider for 15 years and on this forum only five. Farkle is a word that is perfectly useful for me and many others.


I installed the Dart flyscreen today. It had been sitting in the shop for a long time. So, as of today, I "think" these are all the changes I have made:

Type II handlebars
Adjustable levers
CB500 mirrors
Daytona Deluxe Tall seat
Yoshimura full exhaust
Power Commander V
Dyno-tuned
ECU re-flash
Ohlins rear shocks
Race-Tech forks
Sprocket cover
Chrome covers for the dash pods
Honda heated grips
Ventura luggage system
Hyper-lites
SW -Motech crash bars

I'm 6'2", 200#, 34-inch inseam. I think this bike fits me perfectly!!

This is what the Ventura luggage looks like for an overnighter. Takes five minutes max to get them on securely. 30 seconds to get them off at my destination. In the photo, there are two bags. They zip together conveniently on each side. The front bag is supported by the seat. The rear bag is supported by the rack Ventura provides. Their racks are made for very specific bikes. Although they are "universal" in appearance, they are actually custom fit, in this case for a CB1100.

If I do more, it will be because I have Chic Designs front/rear fenders and a Road Comet in the shop. I bought them, like a lot of the other farkles, from forum members that were selling their bikes. If I can ever settle on a paint scheme, I just might do a whole makeover. But I change my mind about colors and such almost weekly. So there's that...

Those bags look great. Which Ventura model are they, Olyrider?

I have a pair of the "Bora 1" bags.

31-liter capacity per bag

I have three different "racks" that are quickly installed/detached from the "L brackets" which are permanently mounted to the bike. For in-town riding, the bag I use is called a "six-pack".

You can choose between chrome and powder-coated black for all the pieces.

Thank you. I’m not quite happy with my touring configuration when I’m camping and am pondering other options. They look interesting due to their size and flexibility.
