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
And I'm not done yet ... there's a lot more I want to add to my bike:
What have you added to your RX3? And how did that meet your goals to make the bike your own?

Admitting I have a problem is the first step in getting help for my problem.
Tourfella racks, Panners, and Trunk X2 Seat Concepts Narrow Seats X2 Hand Guards X2 Power Ports X2 LED Lights X2 Wolfman Tank Bags X2 One Liter Fuel Bottle and Holder X2 Front Balistic Fabric Panners X2 DoubleTake Mirrors X2 Under Seat USB Charge Port Direct to Battery X2 Explorer Dry Bag X2 SpeedoDRD X2 Aluminum Skid Plate X2 POD-X4 Jump Starter Zumo 660 GPS and Mount Lowering Link Center Stand 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) |

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.

Detours... love ya man. great post. First thing I found after purchase was, " how can I make this thing better". Like tiger said, . 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... Of course I don't qualify in the rx3 class, but it' still true for all species.

One of the reasons I bought the RX3 was the extensive list of standard equipment. 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.

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