New to me anyways. I’ve always had late 70’s and early 80’s standard Yamahas so this is a real departure for me. ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3258/2774667062_3a36a780cd.jpg?v=0](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3258/2774667062_3a36a780cd.jpg?v=0) PO was practically giving it away because of an electrical gremlin. $40 and a little soldering later, I’ve got myself a bagger with cruise control, aux lights and a ton of farkles\*. \*far-kul n. Internet slang for doodads and accessories for touring motorcycles. “I’ve added some LED farkles so my bike looks super sweet and glows green when I park it outside the bar.” see also - Rice EDIT- 98 Kawasaki Concours ---

NYSpeed fall tour? Letchworth to Allegheny? Side ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3029/2776130016_5740e32dbd.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3029/2776130016_5740e32dbd.jpg) Front ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3261/2776131250_bd4755f142.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3261/2776131250_bd4755f142.jpg) Went back to stock windshield. The one on it was at least 6" taller. Back ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3229/2775276039_9d5969dd00.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3229/2775276039_9d5969dd00.jpg) Biohazzard? WTF!? Also has brake light blinking LEDs Side (air wings) ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/2775275769_f484cd1b51.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3196/2775275769_f484cd1b51.jpg) These seem like they should be a good idea, but they make me feel really old. They also make those highway pegs fairly impractical. Cockpit ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/2775276253_d651ba9886.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3201/2775276253_d651ba9886.jpg) Here you will notice many outstanding modifications. The Bimmer didn’t have a cupholder, but this does. Below the left handlebar is the switch for the green LEDs. Above the left handlebar is the electronic cruise control. (seriously!?) Barely visible behind that is the 12VDC outlet for GPS. Not Pictured: I removed the bullet hole stickers, holographic eagle, and stick on Buick vents. Bling’d out our garbage can. ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3163/2775276905_3d3da098a5.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3163/2775276905_3d3da098a5.jpg) and by special request… ![http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3238/2775277415_ed5b7e03f8.jpg](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3238/2775277415_ed5b7e03f8.jpg) ---
