Please list your top three mods/farkles to your bike. New owner here looking to prioritize.

1. Nothing
2. Zero
3. Nada

Bike is awesome naked. I almost never knew.

Since I am a tall guy I had to make some mods to give me more legroom. It's better, but still don't have quite enough.

1. Peg extenders - Suburban Machinery
2. Tall seat - factory, does this count as a farkle?
3. Bar risers - MV Verholen, now it needs a longer brake line.

OEM GPS
OEM tall saddle
OEM LED lighting

1. A decent custom saddle: for me, a Bill Mayer

2. Remus full exhaust system: stock very heavy and too quiet for my taste

3. Techclusion fuel injection module: to make use of the new exhaust

coming, 4. Ohlins or Wilbers suspension 5. Stebel Mini Nautilus horn

I got an R12R recently also.. first three mods for me were:

1. Machineartmoto cylinder guards
2. Skene P3 tail lights
3. Leo Vince exhaust that I found on Ebay

1. Rick Mayer seat
2. VStream 14" windscreen
3. Mudsling

&' Booster plug, if you have any $ remaing.

Only 3??!! Well,

1) Bill Meyer saddle, 'cause I sit on it all day,

2) Cee Bailey's screen with .5" Don C tilt block, to protect me from the wind blast,

3) F800GS mirrors, 'cause I'm looking both through them and at them all the time. Of course, if you have bought a 2011/12 model you won't be desperate to get rid of your "Micky Mouse" mirrors, so

4) Wilbers (or Öhlins or HyperPro) shocks, to smooth the way and tighten the ride.

But there's always the next marvelous farkle out there waiting to entice you. Enjoy!

1.) Ceebaileys windscreen

2.) Wonderlich mirror extenders

3.) Booster plug

I have since added Beemer Buddies grip wrappers, Wonderlich throttle lock, GS hand guards.

I just ordered new suspension, not that there's anything wrong with stock, but with such a nice bike, I prefer to have matching suspension.

How could I forget these? They're (Aprilia Tuono) better than the tall seat.

I have more than three but the top three are:

Auxiliary fuse box.

USB charging plug hooked up to the fuse box. (Charges my phone and other things on long trips)

HID driving lights and brackets from Martin Fabrication.

What a great bike.

1. Full exhaust (mine is ZTechnic)
2. Photon blasters/P3 brake lights (both for safety)
3. GS Cylinder guards

1) F800GS mirrors
2) Remus HexaCone (carbon)
3) Factory head covers (resin)

3. F800GS style mirrors.

6. Wunderlich hand guards for those cold mornings when one loses their winter gloves and must travel with summer ones ...
