My vanity mirror in the top box. :rofl

Although my ultimate farkle would have to be hubby sitting in front of me because without him all I have is a very expensive comfy chair.  :grin :grin

Hard to say as each farkle does a certain job, and some add up to be really good as a whole for different sort of rides.  An operating McCruise control is something I use all the time.  Modified suspension front and back are just something I think is a given.  For other rides the heated grips are vital, on other rides the HID headlight and spots are also vital.  Communications can be optional, but I like the GPS working, and the CB radio for bike to bike and getting information on road conditions is really useful.  Moorehouse seat shows its worth after a few 1000kms plus days in a row.

In other words, I like the lot!

My top farkles:

1) Airhawk and sheepskin... for comfort.
2) Interphone F5 bluetooth and RAM mount for my phone so I can listen to music and call the missus.
3) MCL touring pegs... once again for comfort.
4) Handlebar risers... comfort again.

Don't have any particular favourite as such but I'm sure if we left home without the hair brush I might not live to tell about it,  :think1 after we get back home.

I have only added essentials:

Throttle Lock, 12 volt power, Top Case, Tow Bar, Trailer.

Replaced OEM screen (went opaque) and seat (needed recovering) with after-market screen and gel seat.

MCL Blades, Helibars Handlebar riser, Moorehouse Seat & Sena MH10 all make riding the ST amazing and I wouldn't be without them but...
If I had to name the one I love the most I guess I would say the Delkevic Exhausts... they just sound that good :grin :runyay

I only have a few farkles with the bike being fairly standard, but without doubt my best would be the BikeQuip windscreen.    Wider than standard and with a lip at the top, it has significantly cut annoying wind noise.      As well as that, I have heated grips, hard wired com-set,  and quite recently BikeQuip risers.

Heated grips without a doubt, without them it is not as much fun on two wheels.
