How much have you spent on farkles?
 

One of the things I love about the RX3 is how much you can customize and personalize the bike. With CSC's help, I've taken the standard RX3 and made a 60/40 on/offroad touring machine.

On the other hand, I just added up my farkles and realized I've spent approximately $1700 on accessories :wtf:

• 19" front wheel
• Shinko 804/805 tires
• Aluminum skid plate
• Seat Concepts tall seat
• 13T/45T sprockets
• Progressive shock
• Yoo's windshield
• LED headlight conversion
• Accessory charging ports
• SW-Motech tank ring tankbag
• Shorai Lithium-iron battery with battery tender cables

And I'm not done yet ... there's a lot more I want to add to my bike:

• LED spotlights
• Heated handgrips
• Grip guards
• Handlebar risers
• Alloy wheels
• GPS mount (and GPS)
• ... etc, etc, etc

What have you added to your RX3? And how did that meet your goals to make the bike your own?

I've only really added a couple things to mine...

- Double Take mirrors
- Ram Mount X-Grip
- LED Lights from Amazon

For a total of around $150... :shrug: I'm really enjoying the bike as-is :D

I have added the following items.

Tusk D-Flex Hand Guards
Tusk Handlebar Risers
Oxford Premium Heated Grips
Warp9 Rim, size 2.50-17, for the rear wheel
Tractor Supply auxiliary Flood Lights
Auxiliary Spot Lights from SuperBrightLEDs
CSC Center Stand
Progressive Shock Absorber
Neutron Sintered Brake Pads

Detours,

I wish you hadn't started this thread.... :)

Admitting I have a problem is the first step in getting help for my problem.

Not going to figure up the cost of it all but i'm sure it would come close to the cost of two 250TT dualsport bikes and not even close to finished.

Sigh, you know posting the farkles (and especially the associated pricing) is a bad idea in case the spouse/significant other stumbles on this thread, right? :-P

Not too many farkles here, but they are (in no particular order):

1. Reflective black wheel striping
2. Reflective tape on panniers and top case
3. Power port
4. Sintered brake pads
5. Big brake rotor kit (after installing sintered brake pads)
6. LED auxiliary lights
7. LED headlight
8. Handlebar risers
9. Windshield from Winyoochanok
10. Akrapovic mid pipe and muffler
11. 42T rear sprocket
12. Iridium spark plug
13. GPS mount
14. Center Stand (2nd Generation)

It doesn't matter how much you spend on upgrades, as long as you make it YOURS!

I wish I could change the title. I realized asking price was a bad question after I posted it, but I can't change it now. Just seeing everybody's list is much more interesting.

:lmao: true true, agree :lmao:

Detours... love ya man. :lmao: great post. First thing I found after purchase was, " how can I make this thing better". Like tiger said, :hehe:. Just spent 60 bucks today on led's and floods.

Det, you have just about equaled the cost of a fully equipped Jap/german base adv bike. (That one way to look at it).

Come on everyone, confess...:D

Of course I don't qualify in the rx3 class, but it' still true for all species.

I kinda thought that was the point of the RX3... spend as little as you can on the bike, and go bananas on the farkles!

That's my plan

Around $1230 give or take in farcles.

it's not hording if it's cool stuff I always say, rj

I agree. ;)

One of the reasons I bought the RX3 was the extensive list of standard equipment. :tup: The RX3 represents an excellent value. If one wishes to further enhance any motorcycle, it is going to cost money. ;) However, the low purchase price and long list of standard equipment makes it much more economical to farkle the RX3. :tup:

I don't know. I still feel like I'm ahead. My Vstrom 650 isn't nearly as well equipped and it cost double my RX3 (plus farkles), and would cost quite a bit more to add luggage, skid plate and bars. And the RX3 is still more fun in canyons and country roads.

Like Ecomouse said, I saved on the bike so I could spend the money to make it mine.
