IRS Farkle Fest

[KansasKawboy]

THe IRS sent me a check so I bought farkles,
First I bought a Laminar Lip, here is a before pic and the lip at the lowest setting and at the highest setting. I've riden 40 miles at the low setting and only 4 miles at the high setting, I think I'm going to like the high setting better.
Next I upgraded the pegs so I can keep my muddy boots on the pegs.

More to come when I get the work done.

Nice KK .....Hurray :yahoo:
The Laminar lip is a great investment. :thumbup:. Those pegs look like your planning on a little off road adventure.:riding:

[ridingAK]

Gotta love those mods! I don't know about the Laminar Lip, but the pegs are a lot like the ones Nut and I have on our bikes. They work great with muddy boots, and make standing up easier and safer.

[Inky]

Nice goodies! Lookin good!

[KCDakar]

See I just knew the IRS was good for something!

Right?:confused2:

I look forward to seeing it soon. I want to know what you think about the LL when you get some more miles on it.

Boots + Mud + Stock Pegs = Ouch!

I still have the scars after 29 years...:mgbanghead:

[KansasKawboy]

I bought some new to me side cases, I've been using 36 liter cases and bought some 21 liter cases. They hold more than I carry normally, the nice thing about the Givi mounting system is I can change to the bigger cases whe I need then in about 1 minute.

I upgraded my horn from a 105 db. beep to a 130 db. honk.

I also have been checking and adjusting the valves.

for some reason it won't load the picture of the old horn.

[Luna Tique]

Being able to change from one set of bags to another quickly depending on what your plans is very cool kk
:chin:Although I would fill the larger ones with no problem. I have a 19 liter tank bag figuring I would have tons of space but NOPE I have it full of all sorts of "What ifs":lol:


Upgrade to a louder the horn another good idea :thumbup: I have been thinking about doing that myself

[KCDakar]

Great Work KK!!!:thumbsup:

[sweptwingnut]

:smiley: Mods KK! Love the horn upgrade. What brand horn?

[Lucky_Devil]

Yes... inquiring minds wanna know... what kind of horn is that, and what is its decibel rating :popcorn1:

[KansasKawboy]

Yes... inquiring minds wanna know... what kind of horn is that, and what is its decibel rating :popcorn1:

I got the horn at NAPA auto parts, it's 130 decibels. Part # is 730-3804, they call it a universal motorcycle horn.

[Lucky_Devil]

Thanks for the info! :thumbup:

I've been considering installing a Stebel Air Horn, but it's bigger and presents mounting problems vs. a standard shaped motorcycle horn.

How does this one sound? is it deeper than the usual high pitched "toot" emitted from most stock horns?

[KansasKawboy]

They say it's low tone, not as low as I hoped but lower [deeper] than the stock horn.

[KCDakar]

is it deeper than the usual high pitched "toot" emitted from most stock horns?
:rofl:On the Dakar it's more like a "peep":slaphead:

[ridingAK]

I'd love to have a heavy duty, 18 wheeler style air horn. Some cell phone talking, yelling at the kids soccer mom cuts you off, and HONK. :rofl:

[KansasKawboy]

I replaced the left hand switches witha unit that has push to cancel and has a swich to turn the head light off, more volts for the starter.

I added a stone guard for the head light.

I put on a dash and volt meter like the one LD got. I didn't take a before picture.

[KansasKawboy]

OK here are the rest of the pictures.

[KCDakar]

Is the switch next to your volt meter an on/off for power to the meter?

I like your light protecter. Looks good KK!

Now get out and RIDE!!!:wootrock:

We need pics...

[ridingAK]

I agree that the light protector is really cool. And now that you have a light protector you need to ride some challenging off road trails to see if it works. I'll be here waiting for the pics. :sleep:

The switch is for the driving lights.

[sweptwingnut]

:smiley: More add-ons!

Looking good KK. I gather from the switch replacement that you also added aux. lights??

[Luna Tique]

Nice KK :thumbup: everything looks great. and you have a double duty piece when you are camping you could take your headlight protector screen off and use it as a grill :lol:

I be here with everyone waiting on those RR's KK :sleep:

[KCDakar]

The switch is for the driving lights.
:slaphead:I didn't see them in the pic the first time!:thumbup:

[KansasKawboy]

I've had the driving lights since last year.

The Laminar lip is a great investment. :thumbup:. .:riding:


After 150 miles with the Laminor lip I'm very happy with it, I haven't been a bobble head since I put it on and the wind doesn't bother me as much. It works good for me.:thumbsup:

[Inky]

Defeating the bobble head bike thing is a must! Nothing worse than your eyeballs bouncing around in your head. Great work on the bike:thumbsup:

[KansasKawboy]

1300Finally got around to installing the last farkle, a real skid plate.

[KansasKawboy]

Ok here is the before pic .1301

[ridingAK]

Judging from all that mud KK, you have a happy bike! :D:

[Lucky_Devil]

what made the old one not "real"? (pardon my ignorance of all things dirt related)

[KansasKawboy]

It's plastic and breaks easy.

KK

[Lucky_Devil]

aaahhhh, I see. Thanks for the info :popcorn1:

[sweptwingnut]

Nice skidplate KK! That one will be around a long long time. :thumbup:

[KCDakar]
