KLR650 Farckle Fairy!

Happy to be done Part 1 of the Farckle Party!

There were a few accessories [aka farckles] that I wanted to add to my KLR650 before I took her onto the dirt. It took a while to get them in from the US, get them powder coated and installed, but she’s [mostly] ready to rumble now.

What she looked liked fresh from the dealer...

I’ve still got a few things I want to add to the bike:

• magnetic oil drain plug
• Barkbuster hand guards
• Continental TKC80 tires
• Progressive springs
• Happy Trail metal top box
• Master cylinder guard
• 16T sprocket
• Uni air filter
• Doohickey & spring upgrade
• Headlight rock guard
• Centerstand

These will all get added slowly before next summer.

Thank you Farckle Fairy!

Here is what I’ve done so far:

• Happy Trail skid plate
• HT engine guard and highway pegs
• HT crash bars
• HT soft luggage racks
• Bajaworx Dakar windscreen
• Ortlieb saddle bags
• Aerostich tank panniers
• Custom decals

I’ll post details of each mod to this blog as I get time.

Happy Trails Farkles…

Skid plate and engine guard...

So I’ve had my 2010 KLR650 for less than 1hr and I’ve already ordered the first farkles to mod the bike. I’m sticking to what I consider the essentials for the time being to keep my budget in check. It started with a set of engine guards and a skid plate.

Side protectors for my Ortlieb soft panniers...

The next thing I needed was some side pannel protectors to work with my Ortlieb soft panniers.

Fork brace...

The final thing I ordered was s fork brace to add some precision to the front end of the KLR.  There are of course more things from Happy Trails that I would like and could use, but for now this will have to do…=-)
