Farkling for 2009 IBR


I have been busy since getting the bike back from Greenville, SC after the ignition switch failure. I had to tear the bike down to correct the errors made during the repair and so decided it was a good time to clean up the wiring and finish up my farkles.

I put the final touches on the homemade custom fuel cell I built. It sits on the rear deck. The original plan was to have the box on top of it but the when I tried it with my full scale model the box was too tall. I bought a Storm Case and made a quick release mechanism for it. I have filled it several times now and it comes in between 5 and 5.1 gallons so I will be just below the 11.5 gallon limit.


I have added the following:
  • Second Soltek Fuego wide angle driving light
  • Storm Case
  • tool canister
  • storage bag on pillion seat
  • map light
Other pictures of the bike, farkles, and the fuel cell building process are posted on my web album.
